May be someone might have said that there was a direct flight from EWR to BOM.
9W has operated flights from EWR to BOM (227) and flights from Toronto to Delhi (229). These are flights have always made a stopover in BRU (they all arrive at BRU and depart from BRU almost together).
These allows cross transfer of pax.
There was only a brief period lasting few weeks when ATH was used instead of BRY when BRU was closed due to vulcano dust.
