Bengaluru residents can finally skip the wait and confusion of connecting airports, as American Airlines will soon launch a direct route between Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) and Seattle Tacoma Airport. This is also the first non-stop flight that connects Bengaluru to the United States of America.
Scheduled to begin operations in October 2020, a 285-seater Boeing 787-9 aircraft has been employed for the same. The route is an attempt to fulfill the many corporate visits from Bengaluru to Seattle and neighbouring cities in the USA.
