Delta Air Lines to launch nonstop services to Mumbai and Accra

Delta Air Lines is to launch nonstop flights between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Mumbai, India, and Accra, Ghana, effective 1 November and 11 December 2006, respectively.
The 268-seat Boeing 777-200ER aircraft will be used to Mumbai while the 214-seat Boeing 767-300ER aircraft will fly to Accra.
With the start of this new nonstop service, Delta will discontinue its one-stop service to India via Paris-Charles de Gaulle. Delta’s new nonstop service to Mumbai will replace existing one-stop service to Mumbai and to Chennai, effective 1 November. Delta will continue to serve Chennai with codeshare service via Paris on SkyTeam partner Air France, once codeshare approval is obtained. Additionally, Delta will offer direct, same-plane service between its largest international hub in Atlanta and Mumbai with these schedule enhancements.
