American Airlines Non Stop Flights to Delhi

The frequency of service of American Airlines direct flights to Delhi has been increased. The announcement of expansion of American Airlines non-stop flights to Delhi has come before its launch. Service to this route, New York to Delhi is supposed to start from October 31. The carrier had already announced in April this year to start direct flight service between JFK and DEL from October 31 but with different schedules. When the route was first announced in April this year, it was supposed to operate on a daily basis between November 17 and January 1 only. In the rest period of calendar time, American Airlines was supposed to provide services thrice a week. But now American Airlines announced this route as a year-round route. It means, for the entire year, you will have option to book American Airlines non-stop flights to India, especially to Delhi. This will be the first time when American Airlines will provide direct flight service from New York to Delhi. Earlier the American Airlines had flown with direct flight service from Chicago to Delhi. But due to an unprofitability issue, the airlines stopped direct flight service from Chicago to Delhi. During the pandemic time, the demand for direct flight service from Delhi to the USA rose and American Airlines is trying to seize the opportunity as others do. This will be the fifth new long-haul route that American Airlines has announced in recent months.

Air India is currently ruling on this route with direct flight service from Delhi to New York, one of the busiest cities of the United States. British Airways, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Lufthansa, Air France, and Virgin Atlantic are the other airlines that provide one-stop flights between New York and Delhi. Air India will face tough competition with American Airlines. As per the chief travel advisor of Indian Eagle.com, American Airlines will get an advantage over Air India as far as premium economy cabins are concerned.
