Bangalore: United Airlines has announced plans to expand its global route network with two new, nonstop services between India and the United States. Starting in December 2020, United will fly daily between New Delhi and Chicago and starting in Spring 2021, daily between Bengaluru and San Francisco, the first-ever nonstop service between Bengaluru and the U.S. Together with the airline’s existing services from New Delhi and Mumbai to New York/Newark and New Delhi to San Francisco, United will offer more nonstop services from India than any other U.S carrier.
“These new nonstop services will strengthen our international route network and provide our customers from India with even greater travel choice and the possibility to connect via our hubs to destinations across the Americas,” said Marcel Fuchs, United’s Managing Director International Sales. “By introducing the first-ever nonstop service between the two international technology hubs, Bengaluru and San Francisco, we are proud to open up new opportunities for both business and leisure travellers.”
The new routes are subject to government approval and tickets will be available for purchase on united.com and the United app in the coming weeks.
