Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan USA, headquartered in New York City, stands committed to supporting the Gujarati Community and all those with shared cultural roots. We recognize the challenges faced by our community members, particularly the lack of direct Air India flights to Ahmedabad, Gujarat. This gap in service disproportionately affects our senior citizens, who frequently travel to reunite with family, attend cultural events, or address personal matters. Currently, the available flight routes are not only time-consuming but also exhausting, due to multiple layovers that make travel stressful and cumbersome.

We propose the introduction of Direct Air India flights from New York, Houston, and San Francisco to Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Such a service would provide a convenient, comfortable travel option and would deepen familial and cultural connections while promoting economic interactions. For our seniors, direct flights mean accessible, dignified travel, and for tourists, it offers an easy way to experience the rich heritage and beauty of India.

This is the moment to make a difference! Demand for efficient, direct travel options has never been greater, and by signing this petition, you lend your voice to a cause that will benefit thousands. A direct flight route to Ahmedabad will not only cater to the Gujarati community’s needs but also strengthen cultural, familial, and economic bonds between the United States and Gujarat, enhancing the travel experience for all.

Please support our efforts by signing this petition. Your signature will help us show Air India that this service is essential for our community and for all travelers eager to connect with India’s rich heritage and hospitality. Folks, together we can create this change, supporting our elders, our families, and all those who seek a seamless journey to India.

Thank you for your attention..
