Indigo to introduce flights to Bhubaneswar
With a consistent upward swing in airline passenger traffic, low cost private carrier Indigo has now decided to bring Bhubaneswar under its country- wide network. The move comes amidst speculation of Jet Airways and Spice Jet introducing flights from the city soon. Join
Sources said Indigo would be operating a regular flight from New Delhi to Bhubaneswar beginning November 17.
A brand new 180-seater Airbus A320 would cater to this route. This flight would also touch down at Hyderabad and Bangalore after it departs from here. The aim, they added, is to offer the people of Bhubaneswar air connectivity to these three metros at an affordable price.
The introductory fare between New Delhi and Bhubaneswar has been fixed at Rs 1,499 and onwards (excluding taxes and fees).
Similarly, the fares to Hyderabad and Bangalore have been fixed at Rs 799 and Rs 999 respectively (excluding taxes and fees).
The Bhubaneswar flight is likely to depart from New Delhi at 8.55 am and arrive here at 11 am. It will leave here at 11.35 am and land in Hyderabad at 12.55 pm, and at Bangalore at 2.45 pm. The flight from Bangalore will start at 3 pm and arrive here at 6 pm (via Hyderabad). The flight to New Delhi is likely to leave at 7.10 pm and arrive in New Delhi at 9.20 pm. The timings are, however, subject to change.
