United Airlines to Start Non-Stop Flight Between Bengaluru and San Francisco from May Next Year

New Delhi, American carrier United Airlines on Thursday announced to launch daily non-stop flight to Bengaluru from its hub at San Francisco beginning May next year.

The proposed service from Bengaluru to San Francisco will be operated with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
“The new route is United’s first-ever nonstop service between Bengaluru and the US and builds on the airline’s existing services from New Delhi to New York/Newark, Chicago and San Francisco, as well as from Mumbai to New York/Newark,” the airline said in a statement.

The new service from India is part of United’s largest trans-Atlantic expansion in its history announced today including 10 new routes and five new destinations – Amman, Jordan; Bergen, Norway; Azores, Portugal; Mallorca, Spain and Tenerife in the Spanish Canary Islands.

The airline said that all of the new routes, which are set to begin in Spring 2022 are not served by any other North American carrier.
Additionally, next year, United will add new flights to five popular European destinations – Berlin, Dublin, Milan, Munich and Rome, as well as launch seven routes that were interrupted due to the pandemic from Bengaluru, Frankfurt, Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, Nice and Zurich.
Flights are subject to government approval, the airline stated.

“We look forward to the full recovery of international travel and are committed to continuing to leverage our leading global network in new, exciting ways,” said Patrick Quayle, United’s Senior Vice President International Network and Alliances.
American Airlines had in September announced to launch new service between New York (JFK) and Delhi on October 31 and between Seattle (SEA) and Bengaluru on January 4, 2022.
