Actually, it does make a difference in this context, as SkyTeam does have a direct flight from the US to India. DL56 operates EWR-AMS-BOM, and thus is a direct flight from the US to India with a stop in AMS.

Did someone say "context"? What happened to the context when question about origin of nonstop was repeatedly being asked despite my exp0licit mention of the origin too.
I suppose the confusion or ignorance of the difference between nonstop and direct flights lost the context.

Oh please! Harassment? If anything, I was the one being harassed, repeatedly being asked a question whose answer had been given explicitly and could be deduced from context. I pointed out that there is difference between "direct" and "non-stop" flights as it appeared from your posts that you did not know the difference.
I always appreciate it when someone tells me something I did not know. To each his own.

Again probably nothing... but if you read further down the article, it talks about Jet Airways wanting to launch services to Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Shanghai. All are Skyteam hubs with the exception of Frankfurt. Maybe there are hopes Jet Airways will join Skyteam!!!

There are 4 major entry points to Europe. London, Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. Wanting to fly to these destinations is a business decision, not necessarily an indication of current or future alliance preference.
