印度航空计划开通世界最长的直飞航线
NEW DELHI: Air India could soon be operating the world's longest nonstop commercial flight. The airline is planning to link the IT hotspots of India and US — Bengaluru and San Francisco (SFO) — which are almost 14,000 km apart.
At present the longest nonstop commercial flight is operated by Australian airliner Qantas between Dallas Fort Worth in the US and Sydney which is a 13,730 km journey.
印度航空不久可能开通世界飞行距离最长的商业直飞航班，把印度的IT重镇班加罗尔和美国旧金山连接起来，全程大约1.4万公里。
目前，世界最长的商业直飞航线是澳洲航空运营的，从美国达拉斯至澳大利亚悉尼，全程13730公里。
Next year, UAE's mega carrier Emirates will link Dubai with Panama City, a distance of 13,760 km. Avoiding the war zones of Iraq and Syria will lead to diversions that will increase the length of the journey.
明年，阿联酋航空公司会开通迪拜飞巴拿马城的航班， 距离是13760公里。为了避开伊拉克和叙利亚的战区而改道，航班的飞行距离会增加。
"We are planning to have a nonstop from either Delhi or Bengaluru to San Francisco on our Boeing 777-200 long range aircraft. And in addition we are planning a direct service between Ahmedabad and London due to the huge demand for travel between these two cities," said a senior AI official.
我们计划开通直飞航线，用我们的波音777-200远程飞机，从德里或者班加罗尔直飞旧金山。
除此之外，考虑到人们对艾哈迈达巴德和伦敦之间旅行的巨大需求，我们计划开通两地的直飞服务。

Before the flight begins, along with safety instructions, there should be instructions to passengers how to use the toilets and keep them clean on these long flights.
开通航线前，向乘客说明安全事项时，也一道把如何使用厕所以及如何保持舱内干净也说明下

When Emirates which is owned by the Govt can grow making a success of AI might be possible. Commercial and structural changes can pave the way.
阿联酋航也是国有航空公司，都能获得成功。
印度航空也行的。
商业和结构改革能为此铺平道路

I Wonder How ?
Range Winner: 777-300
The 777-300 can fly 765 nautical miles farther than the 777-200, opening up wider route and destination possibilities.
Wide-body Passenger Commercial Jet Average Range: 6,691 nautical miles
波音777-300才是远距离飞行的赢家
波音777-300的航程是765海里，超过波音777-200，能够胜任更多线路和更多目的地。
宽体客机商业飞行的平均航程是6691海里

A very good idea but practically very difficult to handle as everybody knows that working of AI is not upto the mark as per requisite standards....
好主意，但是操作起来困难。印度航空公司的工作作风是众所周知的，服务不达标。

Why are we encouraging this airline full of inefficiency ,undisciplined and callous staff
为什么我们要去支持这家效率低、混乱无纪律和员工冷漠无情的航空公司。

Before taking such big step, please resolve all the issues that your are having within the airlines - be it the issues with staffs or the problems related to the aircrafts. Every other day there is a news related to technical issues delaying flights. Sometimes AC's not working, rats on board etc.
迈出这么一大步之前，请先解决公司内部的各种问题。
不管是员工的态度问题，还是飞机的问题。
每隔一天，就出现技术故障导致航班延误。
有时候是空调不工作了，有时候是舱内发现老鼠等
