Air India drops BLR/SFO, BOM/SFO — 7 to 10 DEL/SFO
Air India ends Bengaluru and Mumbai nonstops to San Francisco, consolidating flights to Delhi with 10 weekly frequencies. This change affects Star Alliance award space and Maharaja Club redemptions, now requiring a Delhi connection. The last flights from Bengaluru and Mumbai to San Francisco were on 27 and 28 February 2026, respectively.
Air India has dropped its nonstop flights from Bengaluru and Mumbai to San Francisco. The last flights from Bengaluru and Mumbai to San Francisco were on 27 and 28 February 2026, respectively. The airline is consolidating its San Francisco flights to Delhi, increasing the frequency from 7 to 10 weekly flights. This change eliminates the only nonstop flight from South India to the US, which was a significant loss for tech-corridor travellers. Our take: South India has lost its only nonstop to the United States. Every Maharaja Club or partner-mile award from Bengaluru or Mumbai to the Bay Area is now a Delhi connection — price it as two segments and book it early, because ten weekly Delhi frequencies are absorbing what three cities used to carry.
