During the pandemic, India welcomed a few international nonstop flights ensuring the ease of travel from abroad in view of the entry and quarantine regulations.<\/strong> United Airlines\u2019 Chicago to New Delhi, Air India\u2019s SFO to Bengaluru, Air India\u2019s Chicago to Hyderabad, Air India\u2019s Chennai to London, and Air Vistara\u2019s Delhi to London Heathrow made it to the list of nonstop flights to India beating the pandemic blues.<\/p>\n Given the rising demand for nonstop routes to and from India, the government is considering a proposal to cut on long-haul international travel via foreign hub airports<\/strong> including those in Europe and the Middle East. Currently, foreign airlines carry people between India and several other countries including the USA via their hub airports or the airports in their countries, as per the sixth-freedom flying rights given to them. For instance, travelers flying to Washington DC from New Delhi<\/a><\/span> via Doha, Frankfurt, or London Heathrow, instead of taking a nonstop flight are part of the sixth-freedom traffic.<\/p>\n
