Delhi to Washington on Air India by May 2017

The National Civil Aviation Policy is very progressive and talks about connecting Tier-II, Tier-III cities. Air India too is looking at expansion. Owing to the demand for our San Francisco flight we will be starting a thrice-a-week flight from Ahmedabad to London to Newark from August 15, 2016. Also, we will be starting a flight from Delhi to Washington around April-May 2017. It will be the fifth connection between India and United States. From August we’d be adding a plane almost every month. We will also open a hub in Hyderabad, Bhopal, Raipur, as well as in Delhi. We will be connecting Tier-II and Tier-III cities under the Connect India programme. Within the group we have 130 aircraft and we are looking at almost doubling it in the next four years.
