Air India debuts Airbus A350 service to Newark Liberty International Airport

Air India is debuting its first Airbus A350 service to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) after departing from Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL). 

The Airbus A350-900 departed India at 02:42 on January 2, 2024, and is due to land at Newark Liberty Airport just before 07:00 local time. 

The new non-stop service follows Air India’s introduction of an A350 flight from Delhi to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York on November 1, 2024. 

“With this, Air India now serves all non-stop flights between India’s capital and the New York region with its A350 aircraft, offering its all-new interiors, including private suites in Business Class and a Premium Economy cabin, as well as an award-winning new Inflight Entertainment (IFE) system, enhanced catering, and new serviceware,” said a spokesperson for Air India.
