DELTA Air Lines has resumed daily direct service between the United States and India with a Mumbai (BOM) to New York (JFK) route that is operated by a Boeing 777-200LR aircraft.
The new service is expected to transport key exports from India including pharmaceutical products, automobile parts, courier shipments and general cargo, reported New York's Air Cargo World.
Delta cargo sales' Gonzalo Hernandez said in a statement: 'India has been the missing piece of our cargo portfolio and we are receiving a warm welcome back into the market from our customers and partners.'
The carrier had earlier operated nonstop service between the US and India, but left the market saying, 'subsidised state-owned airlines made service economically unviable.'
The operations into New York can link up with the airline's connections to North and Latin America and the Caribbean.
