Air India will be upgrading capacity on its daily DEL-FRA-LAX flight by replacing the Boeing 747-400 Combi used on the route with a brand new Boeing 777-300ER. This will come into effect from May 17th 08. It has also announced that it will be suspending all flights to Bangkok effective March 31st 2008 and as a result fly to PVG-Shanghai from BOM via DEL nonstop using an Airbus A 310-300 four times a week only. It will however continue to offer code share service to BKK from BOM/DEL/MAA via its partner i.e. Indian Airlines.

This will be seen as a huge relief to the LAX Air India passengers who have suffered many dangerous instances when taking AI for their journey back home. Few times there were fire related incidents with the aircraft and many times huge delays due to a tech problem. With the new B 773ER now destined to operate the route, AI will hope that the bad PR it has gotten over the years in LA will be forgotten when its pax experience its new in-flight product on board the B 773ER.

hi,
Do you have a idea whether AI has started using the 777 on this route already or is it still using 747s.
