Delta Begins Nonstop Service Between Atlanta and Mumbai

Atlanta: Delta Air Lines tomorrow will inaugurate nonstop daily service between Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, connecting the Southeast with India's booming economy.
Delta will operate the flight with the world's longest-range commercial jetliner, the Boeing 777-200LR, which bolsters Delta's ability to connect passengers and cargo between virtually any two cities around the globe, nonstop. The 777-200LR is Delta's flagship aircraft for its global product, including 180-degree, fully horizontal personal sleeper suites in BusinessElite(r), next-generation, more comfortable seats in coach, and Delta's on-demand entertainment system on larger screens at every seat.
"Linking Mumbai with the southeastern United States using an aircraft with the passenger and cargo capabilities of the Boeing 777-200LR and the vast connectivity of Delta's Atlanta hub will make a huge contribution not only to Delta's international expansion, but also to Georgia's economic growth," said Glen Hauenstein, executive vice president - Network and Revenue Management.
Between India and the United States, Delta's award-winning service also features recent and classic Bollywood hits, as well as vegetarian meal options.
