At the outset of 2023, International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecasted air passenger traffic to reach 90% of pre-pandemic levels in 2023 and surpass the previous numbers in 2024<\/strong>. International airlines’ response to rapidly increasing demand for air travel with a network overhaul is riding the recovery of the aviation industry post pandemic. As part of their global expansion plans, many international airlines including Etihad, Air India, United Airlines, Air France, Turkish Airways, and Lufthansa are charting new routes to India besides increasing service frequency on their existing routes. This means the launch of new routes and flights, both nonstop and connecting, between the US and India.<\/p>\n

\"USA<\/p>\n

Etihad Airways\u2019 new destinations in USA and India <\/strong><\/h3>\n

To compete with rival airlines, Etihad Airways is expanding its network both in the US and India. After having declared Boston as its fourth destination in the United States, Etihad is all set to launch flights to two new destinations in Kerala as part of its winter schedule. Starting in January 2024, Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram will see Etihad flights from USA to India via Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

Cheap Etihad Airways deals for flights to Kozhikode from USA are available on IndianEagle.com. After Qatar Airways, Etihad will be the second airline to be operating to Calicut International Airport, Kozhikode. Etihad Airways\u2019 entry into competition with Emirates and Qatar Airways is good for economy travelers seeking cheap flight tickets to Thiruvananthapuram from USA<\/a><\/span> via AUH.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Etihad Airways\u2019 Boston to India service will take off on March 31, 2024.<\/p>\n

Turkish Airlines\u2019 new routes from USA to India\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Of the few major events to impact travel between USA and India this year (2023) end is Turkish Airlines\u2019 new service from Detroit with connection to India via Istanbul. Detroit to India flights<\/a><\/span> by Turkish Airlines will take off on 15 November 2023<\/strong>, and the thrice-a-week service will be increased to four times a week in 2024. Interestingly, Turkish Airlines is the first Middle East carrier to be catering to Detroit in the Midwest.<\/p>\n

Other than cheap Turkish Airlines tickets to India from USA<\/a><\/span>, the new service has a few advantages over Lufthansa, British Airways, American Airlines and Air France connecting Detroit to India. Read more about Detroit to India service: Turkish Airlines vs European airlines<\/a><\/strong>. Reportedly, Denver in Colorado, and Orlando in Florida are Turkish Airlines\u2019 potential destinations in the United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Air France\u2019s new destinations in USA<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Good news for North Carolina Indians! Starting 3o October 2023, Air France will open up a new route from Raleigh and connect it further to India via Paris<\/strong>. Currently, most flights from Raleigh to India<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> are operated by American Airlines and United Airlines (along with its interline partner, Air India). Both these airlines allow international travelers to check in only one bag for free. Air France\u2019s weekly thrice service from Raleigh-Durham International Airport would be a good alternative to two-stop itineraries originating in Charlotte.<\/p>\n

However, the growing Indian-origin community in the Research Triangle Park, NC is seeking nonstop connectivity from Raleigh to India.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Minneapolis<\/a><\/span> is another upcoming destination of Air France in its US network<\/strong>. Air France flights from Minneapolis are scheduled to take off in May 2024; a definite date of the launch is yet to be announced. The airline will also increase its thrice weekly service to\/from Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to five times a week.<\/p>\n

Air India\u2019s new routes from USA to India<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Air India is reportedly planning to expand its nonstop India-USA flights service<\/a><\/span> to Boston and Los Angeles where a sizable Indian community lives<\/strong>. Boston Logan Airport, the largest and busiest airport in New England, is a gateway to the six-state region. Apart from holiday and business travelers, a large number of Indian students will be the beneficiaries of direct flight service from Boston to India.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Los Angeles is most likely to be the origin of Air India\u2019s another new service between USA and India. Indian immigrants in Southern California have been anticipating nonstop connectivity from Los Angeles to India for the past few years. These two routes are likely to be introduced in November or December 2023. We also see the likelihood of having Dallas and Atlanta in Air India\u2019s US network in 2024.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kuwait Airways\u2019 new route from USA to India<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kuwait Airways flights from USA to India<\/a><\/span> will also take off from Washington Dulles (IAD) on 15 December 2023<\/strong>. After New York JFK, Washington Dulles is the second US gateway to the airline. The airline will operate the new service from Washington DC three times a week and seamless connect it to Delhi and Mumbai via its hub, Kuwait City. Kuwait Airways\u2019 best deals for USA to Indian flights are available through IndianEagle.com, a most trusted travel-booking partner of Indians in America. Like other Middle East carriers, Kuwait Airways allows two bags to be checked in per international traveler (on adult fare) for free.<\/p>\n

United Airlines to reinstate suspended routes to India\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To compete in the US-India nonstop travel market, United Airlines is reinstating its nonstop service on the routes to India that the airline had suspended due to its restricted access to the Russian airspace<\/strong>. Its Chicago to Delhi nonstop service will resume from 20 March 2024 while the exact dates of the resumption of United flights from Newark to Mumbai and from San Francisco to Delhi are yet to be announced.<\/p>\n

To cater to the growing demand for travel between the northeast US and India without international transit, United Airlines is ramping up the frequency of its Newark to New Delhi flights nonstop<\/a><\/span>. Starting 29 October, United Airlines will run double daily flights between Newark EWR and Delhi IGI Airport.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lufthansa\u2019s new destinations in USA and India<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Raleigh, Minneapolis, and Seattle<\/a><\/span> are Lufthansa\u2019s new destinations in the United States<\/strong>. The German flag carrier\u2019s daily service to and from Seattle will take off on 30 May 2024, which will be further connected to India via Munich or Frankfurt. After Air France, Lufthansa is the second European airline to start serving Raleigh-Durham International Airport from 06 June 2024. North Carolina Indians will get to fly on five weekly Lufthansa flights from Raleigh to Hyderabad<\/a><\/span>, Chennai, and Bengaluru other than Delhi and Mumbai<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Lufthansa is on an expansion spree in India. Hyderabad<\/a><\/span> is the newest and fifth destination of Lufthansa flights to India from USA via Frankfurt<\/strong>. Starting from 16 January 2024, Lufthansa will touch down at HYD RGI Airport on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. This will facilitate one-stop travel to Hyderabad for Indians residing in Charlette, Detroit, Denver and Orlando, since Lufthansa is one of the few non-American airlines flying from those US cities. It marks Lufthansa\u2019s comeback to the City of Pearls after the service was suspended in 2011.<\/p>\n

Minneapolis will see Lufthansa\u2019s five weekly service starting 04 June 2024. Indians of Minnesota will be able to travel on one-stop flights to India from Minneapolis not only by Air France but also Lufthansa in almost the second half of 2024. Interestingly, Lufthansa\u2019s new travel cabins<\/a><\/span> with Premium Economy seats will make a debut around the same in 2024. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
