New York, Mar 26: Promising quality services to passengers, Air-India has reopened its Los Angeles office, which it had closed over a year ago.

The airline said the new office would serve its passengers and travel agents in Los Angeles and surrounding areas and also its passengers on the code share service with Singapore Airlines.

Air-India's code share service with Singapore Airlines enables connections from Singapore to several cities in India, including Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad.

As proof of its quality services, it cited that Air-India had won third place in a wine tasting competition conducted by Business Traveller International magazine.

A total of 34airlines participated in the competition, it added.
