Air India has the highest women flight pilots

This will be Air-India’s longest Non-Stop flight.  The previous longest route was the New Delhi (DEL) – San Francisco (SFO).  While the DEL-SFO distance was about 13,000k,  the BLR-SFO route will be 1000 km more at 14,000 kms.

The DEL-SFO route used the Pacific route for its operation.  But the BLR-SFO uses the Polar route for its fights.  Normally, air crafts take tail winds for their flight routes.  The inaugural flight between SFO-DEL took the Atlantic route via north pole Pole.  Highly experienced women pilots will operate this sector.  Head of Safety and senior commander of AI will assist them.

Over-all Flying Experience

When it comes to flying between India and the United States, the first concern is always about the time it takes due the distance one has to travel – a whopping 13,500km!  Both countries are almost 180 degree opposite to each other and both have diverse time-zones.  It is in this context the passenger expects shorter time of travel and convenience hours of departure from India & arrival in the US.  It is hoped with this itinerary, Air-India brings all of these demands neatly packed in one single bundle.
