    In which direction does the airplane go when it is flying from the US to India nonstop?

    Question #67360. Asked by joezhou300. (Jun 23 06 3:54 PM)

    		Up and over the North Pole...via the Polar Route.

    International carrier Continental Airlines became the first airline to launch trans-Atlantic non-stop flights between India and the United States, when a Boeing 777 aircraft arrived in New Delhi from Newark on Wednesday night.

    The service, which will shave off several hours of flying time between the two cities, would be operated through the polar route. The time taken for the eastbound journey would be a total of 14 hours and the westbound, 16 hours due to headwinds.
