Air India Brand-new A350s are getting ready to take off to the USA. Starting Nov 1, 2024 between DEL ⇔ JFK, and from Jan 2, 2025 between DEL ⇔ EWR

Why both to same region - JFK, EWR are like next to each other.

Not sure why all direct flights to Delhi when majority of public is going to Hyd/ Bangalore/ Mumbai/Chennai

Every airline has a hub and for Air India, Delhi airport is the hub airport. Routing major traffic through its hub in Delhi helps maintain sustainable demand. These hubs are well organized and have additional resources and plans to deal with any situation and keeping resources at every airport is challenging and expensive. That's why the airlines route the majority of traffic through a major hub.

flights from usa to hyd  need a ton of fuel i think flights does not carry that much fuel  its going to like 18+hrs.

dallas to some European country for refuelling and then to HYD  makes ton of sense

thats how ethopian airlines does it from addis ababa to FCO to toronto, moreover  ethopian airlines have far better customer  service compared to Air india

Adia abbaba is different situation elevation is very high 

us to adia ababa will have europe stop

nope. Brand new. I guess some of them were for Aeroflot which are being repurposed for AI due to the sanctions on Russia.
