Someone pointed out that Continental has included a Newark-Delhi nonstop in its IATA winter draft schedules:

Sure enough, it''s in there:
CO82 EWR-DEL 2045 2110+1
CO83 DEL-EWR 2330 0450+1
The flights are daily, operated by 772''s, and scheduled to run for the whole winter season.
The question is, do they really intend to operate the flights? I haven''t seen anything about a DOT filing. However, there must be a huge market for nonstops from the NY area to India, so I''m sure it would be a success. And I don''t see why it wouldn''t be technically feasible, since EWR-HKG is substantially farther.
