New Delhi: United Airlines has announced an increase in service between New Delhi and New York/Newark, with a doubling of flights from once to twice daily during the winter season 2023/24.
In line with the existing year-round service, the additional flight will also be operated with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
With the addition of the second flight, United will offer more flights from India to the U.S. than any other U.S. airline during the winter season and is the only U.S. airline to operate the 787 Dreamliner from India.
United's Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft features 48 all-aisle-access United PolarisSM business suites, 21 United Premium PlusSM, 39 Economy PlusSM and 149 Economy seats.
The revolutionary design of the Dreamliner offers customers many features for increased comfort, such as large windows, spacious overhead storage, and modern LED lighting to simulate a full day, helping passengers adjust their internal clock on the
transatlantic flight.
"Having served this important region for almost two decades, India continues to be an integral part of United’s global network and we are delighted to announce this additional daily flight from New Delhi, operated with 787 Dreamliner aircraft," said Harvinder Singh, Director Middle East and India, United Airlines.
"This increase in service will offer our valued customers in India even greater travel choice and flexibility, with the possibility to connect seamlessly via our New York/Newark hub to over 70 destinations across the Americas."

Lufthansa is expanding its winter flight schedule for 2026/27 with the launch of a new direct route by between its Munich hub and Rovaniemi, starting December 4, 2026.
Choosing a seat on a flight in India often comes at an extra cost, especially for window, aisle, or front-row options. Over time, what was once a basic part of flying has turned into a revenue stream for airlines, leaving many passengers with limited free choices during web check-in.
Passengers on board an Air India flight to Vancouver experienced a near eight-hour “flight to nowhere” after the aircraft was forced to return to Delhi due to a regulatory oversight.
