New Delhi, Nov 28 (TIWN) India's national carrier Air India is set to connect Bengaluru and San Francisco via a non-stop flight from 2021, the Kempegowda International Airport said on Wednesday.

Bangalore used to have a routing via Delhi so far, and it has been a long-standing ask of Bengaluru travellers to get them a direct non-stop flight. Now, Air India is planning to launch its own Bengaluru – San Francisco non-stop flight in the coming months.  Air India is planning to launch its Bengaluru – San Francisco non-stop flight, clocking over 16 hours from January 11, 2021. The flight will operate two times a week with the Boeing 77L, beating United by about five months on the launch of this routing. The plane will operate right at the edge of the envelope of the Boeing 77L, and will be a full 1,000 miles longer than the DEL-SFO route.
