Delta to Fly Atlanta to Mumbai Nov. 1, Will Drop JFK-Mumbai
Delta just announced their new non-stop flight between Atlanta and Mumbai that will replace their previous non-stop JFK-Mumbai route:
Delta Air Lines today announced a new daily nonstop flight between Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Mumbai, India, starting Nov. 1, 2008. The new flight will connect the world's largest airport with one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
Delta's recently acquired Boeing 777-200 Long Range (LR) aircraft will make the 17-hour, 55-minute westbound nonstop flight possible. The world's longest range commercial jetliner bolsters Delta’s ability to connect customers and cargo between virtually any two cities around the globe, nonstop.
Delta's first two 777-200LRs joined the fleet earlier this year as the first of 10 such models to be delivered through 2010. Since April, these aircraft have been serving the New York-JFK-Mumbai route, which will be discontinued with the start of nonstop service between Atlanta and Mumbai.
The schedule for the new daily route is:
DL 184
Depart Atlanta at 7:15 p.m.
Arrive Mumbai at 10:35 p.m. (one day later)DL 185
Depart Mumbai at 1:05 a.m.
Arrive Atlanta at 8:30 a.m.
