well a BOM-DEL-JFK flight defeats the purpose of a non-stop and to me, it's in the same boat as a BOM-AUH-JFK on etihad. Of course, business on etihad is much better service overall, chauffeur drive, lounge massage, etc

Any other carriers looking to fly this non-stop apart from United? Is there a chance emirates or etihad would or they very unlikely that they'll byp[... their hubs?

Thanks
