Atlanta-based Delta Airlines has resumed its non-stop flight services from Mumbai to New York, starting 24 December, almost a decade after it discontinued the route due to stiff competition from Gulf carriers.
Until now, India’s national carrier Air India was the only domestic operator offering a direct connectivity to John F. Kennedy International Airport from Mumbai with thrice-a-week service between the two destinations.
The new route for the airline is being served by a newly renovated Boeing 777-200LR, with seatback entertainment throughout, Wi-Fi connectivity and free mobile messaging, Delta said.
