Well the initial flights will be DEL-JFK and BOM-JFK from next month on A332s i think. They might use the A345s as well as the 332s might be deployed on the SAARC routes.

Cool! Any word on how many flights? Six destinations equals six flights, or will there be more or fewer flights? What equipment will be used?
