This Airline Will Fly An Unusual Long-Haul Route To San Francisco Next Month With A Boeing 777

Starting June 2025, Air India will introduce an unusual stopover in Kolkata on its routes from Mumbai and Bengaluru to San Francisco. Previously, some of these flights made stopovers in Europe, primarily in Vienna. The shift to Kolkata is likely due to Pakistan’s airspace closure following the terrorist attack in Kashmir in April 2025.
