Last Updated on Jul 11th, 2024 by Heena Ganotra, 12 comments

As per TOI that quoted TNN as its aviation source,  Air India is likely to resume its direct non-stop flights between Bengaluru and San Francisco from 10th June. We, at MyTicketsToIndia, deemed it fit to notify the same to our passengers so you can pin your hopes on the same. Hope sustains life, after all! 

With this news that comes across like a wave of happiness, let’s delve a little deeper to understand things better. 

First Direct Non-Stop BLR-SFO Flight

The first Air India non-stop flight between Bengaluru and SFO was inaugurated on January 11. It was led by an all-women crew, including four pilots, that flew to Kempegowda International Airport. The return flight left for SFO the following day with 220 passengers. 

Last Direct Non-Stop BLR-SFO Flight

The last flight to SFO that took off from Bangalore Airport was on May 10. The next flight that was scheduled on May 13, however, was grounded. 

Note: The flight was grounded due to a lack of funds. This poor patronage can be directly linked to the lockdown in Karnataka owing to the second wave of coronavirus. 

How Did BLR-SFO Non-Stop Flights Operate Before The COVID Scenario?

Before COVID-19, Air India operated two weekly non-stop flights to Kempegowda International Airport, departing on Saturday and Tuesday. The return flight from Bangalore to San Francisco arrived on Mondays and Thursdays.

They were operated via Air Bubbles between India and USA. Besides, this route was one of the newest to mark its entry into the list of non-stop flights between India and USA. 

Not just this, the Bengaluru-San Francisco route has set two new records.

• It is the longest route at 14,000+ km (8,698 miles).

• It is the longest flight to and from India (over 16 hours).
