Is there a use to send up more interceptors from a city?

I see the AI always sends up only one per city.
More interceptors provide more defense or give any extra benefit compared to 1 interceptor per city?
The same question for carriers of course.
Thanks!

From what i know, fighters can only have 1 succesful interception per turn. So the more fighters you have, the better off you are. Im assuming that the AI depends on the overlapping interception zones between the cities, which is why they rarely station more than 1 fighter per city.

Personally, whenever I play a modern game, I have three interceptors per city. It looks cooler, and I'm sure that there are other benefits

Your fighters can also intercept the interceptor. So it is also great way to protect your bombers.
