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

Not quite the same, as it's "almost" similar to the hop on hop off service you see in domestic flights here. So basically you land in DEL, might get out of the plane (not sure of that), but immigration is all done in BOM, and the turnaround time is minimal, very unlike a true connection.
