US carrier United Airlines plans to introduce a new daily non-stop seasonal flight between Delhi and San Francisco from December 7 next year.
Currently, Air India’s non-stop service between Delhi and San Francisco runs through the year.
Like the Air India flight, the United Airlines flight will also circumnavigate the globe. A senior airline United Airlines official said its flight will fly from Delhi towards Tokyo and then onwards to the US, while on the return, the aircraft will fly over Europe before reaching India.
While Air India uses a Boeing 777-200 ER, United Airlines plans to use a Boeing 787-9 aircraft on this non-stop service.
