AI PLANS DIRECT FLIGHTS TO TORONTO

Air India

National carrier Air India is planning to introduce direct flight services from New Delhi to San Francisco and Toronto this winters following removal of restrictions on the domestic carriers to expand their operations in the US after safety upgrade by the FAA. The state-run airline also plans to re-configure its Boeing 777-200 LR planes to cater to these proposed services. At present, Air India operates flights to New York and Chicago. The airline is proposing to fly three weekly flights each to San Francisco and Toronto from New Delhi with a B777 – 200 LR aircraft.
