United Airlines, an American carrier, has announced plans to increase its flight services between Delhi and New York/Newark, doubling the frequency to twice daily starting 29 October this year. The enhanced service will align with the existing year-round offering, operated with the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
The move comes amid growing demand for connectivity between India and the US, reflecting the strengthening economic ties between the two nations. United’s latest addition cements its position as the leading American carrier providing services from India to the US during winter.
