The airline reported losses of US$875 million for its last fiscal year ending in March 2009 and is forecast to lose up to $1.06 billion in the current financial year. Air India currently operates daily non-stop flights to Mumbai and Delhi from JFK, daily direct service to India from Chicago as well as services from Newark via Frankfurt and from Toronto via London.
