Earlier the airline had decided to operate additional services between India and the United States in August 2021 to help Indian students who study in U.S universities to travel to the U.S.

Currently, Air India is operating almost 21 flights per week to the US, with the maximum increase in New York (JFK and Newark or EWR) flights followed by Chicago and San Francisco.

Last week, the U.S had announced that it would allow fully vaccinated foreigners to enter the country from 08th Nov on wards .

“The US’ new travel policy that requires vaccination for foreign national travelers to the United States will begin on Nov 8. This announcement and date apply to both international air travel and land travel. This policy is guided by public health, stringent, and consistent,” Kevin Munoz, the White House Assistant Press Secretary said.

As the U.S lifts the curbs, the fully vaccinated travelers from, India, Britain, Ireland, China, South Africa, Iran, and Brazil along with 26 countries in Europe, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and Greece would be allowed to travel to the US.
