United Airlines plans to resume daily nonstop service between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and both Delhi (DEL) and Mumbai (BOM) beginning September 6. United is the only U.S. carrier offering nonstop flights to both Indian gateways.
The Newark–Mumbai route will operate daily, departing EWR at 8:10 p.m. and arriving in Mumbai the following day at 8:50 p.m. Return service departs Mumbai at 11:20 p.m. and arrives in Newark at 5:30 a.m. the next day. A Boeing 777-300 will be assigned to this service.
The Newark–Delhi route will depart Newark at 10:05 p.m. each day and arrive in Delhi at 9:30 p.m. the next day. The return flight leaves Delhi at 11:35 p.m., arriving in Newark at 4:55 a.m. the following day. This route will be operated with a Boeing 777-200.
In addition to restoring service from Newark, United will launch seasonal nonstop flights between San Francisco (SFO) and Delhi starting December 5. The SFO–Delhi route will be served by a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. United is the only U.S. airline offering nonstop service from the West Coast to Delhi.
“We are excited to get back to connecting our customers and our employees to India as our teams prepare to restart our daily service to both Delhi and Mumbai,” said Andrew Nocella, chief commercial officer at United Airlines. “We’re looking forward to beginning our third daily nonstop flight to India this December.”
