United to scale back India flying, delay Bangalore
launch as pandemic rages
United Airlines said on ทางเข้า slotxo it is temporarily pausing service between Chicago
and New Delhi in June and delaying the planned launch of flights between San Francisco
and Bangalore as a catastrophic explosion of COVID-19 cases hits demand.
India reported another record daily rise in coronavirus infections on Friday, bringing total
new cases for the week to 1.57 million, as its vaccination rate falls dramatically due to
a lack of supplies and transport problems.
Until the Chicago-Delhi route is halted on May 31, United said will use its larger Boeing
777-300ER jets on seven roundtrip flights to accelerate the repatriation of citizens
between the two countries and the delivery of vital medical supplies. It was previously
using the Boeing 787-9.
United, the only U.S. carrier flying to India, said it will continue its daily flights to Delhi
from Newark and San Francisco and to Mumbai from Newark.
However, it will "continue to monitor customer demand to determine if any additional
changes to its schedule are necessary," it said.
As of now it expects to resume the Chicago-Delhi flights, which it launched in December,
in July and kick off its San Francisco-Bangalore service on August 1 versus previous
plans for a May 27 launch.作者: twman19 時間: 2021-5-11 21:30
