Delta Air Lines has commenced its flight between Mumbai and New York-JFK. It is the only non-stop flight between the two hubs and will offer a wide range of onward connections to destinations across the United States.
The start of this new flight will fill a missing piece of Delta’s network connecting India and the United States. The airline has scheduled its newly renovated Boeing 777-200LR aircraft on the route.
As Delta’s largest trans-Atlantic hub, New York-JFK offers more than 50 convenient onward connections throughout North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, including Atlanta, Toronto, Boston, San Francisco and Tampa.
This new service between Mumbai and New York will also be important for cargo customers and freight forwarders with the aircraft being able to carry up to 12 tonnes of cargo per flight. The timing of the service into New York-JFK also ensures that the main freight products of pharmaceuticals, automobile parts and general cargo will be able to access Delta’s extensive domestic network.
