What is the status of UA's flights to Delhi, on their RTW flights from London, and Hong Kong, respectively? How many times a week, do these flights operate?
One of the earlier posts stated that the transpolar service from USA to Delhi is discontinued - do you mean the above flights (although, I would not think they are transpolar routes)?</font>
UA still flies daily IAD-LHR-DEL-HKG-LAX-IAD service, as well as one the other way daily. However, credible rumours from company HQ suggest that the flights will soon be scaled down to three times a week in one direction and four in the other to/from DEL, given the poor loads in business and first.
UA considered a ORD-DEL non-stop polar service two years ago but eventually decided the economics didn't make sense. AC has also dropped plans to fly YYZ-LHR-DEL.
