American’s Boeing 777-300ER
The Boeing 777-300ERs in the American fleet has room for 304 travelers installed. This includes eight for Flagship First, which is the aircraft’s true long-haul international first-class product. These are more open, office-style seats as opposed to some of the enclosed suites you will discover on different airlines. These seats are configured in a 1-2-1 layout.
Following this cabin are 52 Flagship Business reverse herringbone seats in a 1-2-1 configuration. The reverse herringbone product American has picked is really standard across aircraft, however, is as yet an extraordinary product for the mammoth journey to India.
Clients flying in a Flagship-branded cabin will be in for a treat. Those in Flagship First can get to American’s exclusive Flagship First Dining facility on the ground in JFK. Both Flagship First and Flagship Business clients can access the aircraft’s Flagship Lounge. These facilities return in only a couple of weeks at JFK.
Following this are 28 premium economy seats. These seats are spread out in a 2-4-2 configuration, which is truly agreeable on a 777.

What to make of the shift
In April, American Airlines initially declared service from JFK to DEL from October 31st with three flights each week. Between the peak travel period from November 17th through January 3rd, the airline intended to run the flight daily. All flights were set to run installed Boeing 777-200ER airplane.
Then, at that point, in June, American Airlines expanded frequencies on the route. While holding onto the Boeing 777-200ER set to run the service, the carrier turned the service to a daily one.
The redesigns on this route come in the midst of ongoing travel limitations for India-bound and US-bound travelers. The US has banned most foreign nationals who were actually present in India in the last 14 days before entry from coming straightforwardly to the United States. India has additionally banished most foreigners from entering the country.
All things considered, there are strong familial ties between India and the US. It is a heavy visiting friends and relatives (VFR) market and is a developing business one, also. Some of these categories of passengers can get around the boycotts either through citizenship or special immigration status.
The use of the Boeing 777-300ER is entirely outstanding because it is American’s flagship long-haul international aircraft. These planes fly to the aircraft’s top international destinations, including Hong Kong, Sao Paulo, and London.
Notwithstanding, there is likewise an issue of where traffic is nowadays. Hong Kong is generally shut, and American Airlines likewise shut down its Los Angeles-Hong Kong route indefinitely. This leaves the aircraft with some extra Boeing 777-300ERs that it can give to routes like this.
Delhi has performed well for United Airlines. During the emergency, the airline initiated a new Chicago-Delhi nonstop service, which was quite successful at launch. It additionally travels to New Delhi from its hubs at Newark and San Francisco. Air India additionally flies vigorously from Delhi to the United States – including to JFK. This additionally avoids the effect of interfacing traffic, with travelers who fly through a point in Europe or the Middle East.
While it is an exceptionally competitive market, and that is without Vistara entering, American seems to be seeing some strong demand for New Delhi and is thinking some of its flagship airplanes there right now as demand to the vast majority of East Asia stays dry.
