Air India's Airbus A350 Takes Flight to Newark Liberty International Airport
Air India has taken a major step in its aviation journey by introducing its first Airbus A350 service to Newark Liberty International Airport from Delhi. The A350-900, equipped with state-of-the-art features, departed from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport and is set to touch down at Newark just before 07:00 local time.
This new non-stop route follows Air India's successful launch of the A350 service from Delhi to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. A spokesperson for Air India shared, "With this new service, Air India now offers direct flights between India's capital and the New York region on our cutting-edge A350 aircraft, boasting private suites in Business Class, a Premium Economy cabin, and an award-winning Inflight Entertainment system, along with upgraded catering and serviceware."
Excitingly, Air India's A350 is making its debut at Newark, signaling new possibilities for travelers. You can follow the journey of this modern aircraft on @flightradar24. The airline now offers non-stop flights five times a week between Delhi and Newark.
This milestone comes on the heels of Air India's first A350-900 flight from Bengaluru to Mumbai, marking the beginning of a new era in the airline's fleet expansion. Since then, the airline has further expanded its A350 operations, including international flights to Dubai and long-haul trips to London-Heathrow.
In a significant move, Air India recently confirmed a substantial order of 10 A350-900s and 90 A320neo family aircraft from Airbus. This order complements the airline's existing fleet of Boeing widebodies, which it utilizes for long-haul routes to destinations like Washington DC, Chicago, and San Francisco.
As Air India continues to enhance its fleet and expand its network, the introduction of the A350 to the Newark route symbolizes the airline's commitment to offering passengers a superior flying experience. The future looks bright for Air India and travelers alike with these exciting developments on the horizon.
