The NYC market needs a better non-stop service to India than what AI provides. (CO is not an option because going to Newark is really out of the question.) I have taken the AI service and think it's great, but surely 9W will do a better job.
I'd love for this service to start up (so long as upon arrival, one can proceed to clear customs and fly onwards to major Indian cities without having to spend the night in DEL or BOM) and look forward to accruing skypesos on Delta.
