Bhopal: National carrier, Air India faced with persistent demands and long waiting list of passengers flying to Delhi has decided to operate an Airbus A-320 daily evening on Delhi-Bhopal-Delhi sector from February 20. The Airbus aircraft will replace the A-319 with 122-seater. Airbus will help in increasing the capacity of passengers from 122 to 1687.
Currently only Jet Airways and Air India operate from the state capital. That too, the two airlines have cancelled their afternoon flights owing to re-carpeting work of runway. The re-carpeting work is being carried out between 10 am and 56 pm and will continue till April. This has left passengers with very little choice and they were dependent only on the morning and evening flights to go to Delhi but the waitlist were quite high.
Air India sources said that the airline has been planning to connect Bengaluru with Bhopal from this winter. "There has been long pending demand from both IT professionals and students to connect Bhopal with IT city Bengaluru. The flight for Begaluru most probably will start from October 2017," said an official of Air India.
The Airbus aircraft will take off from Delhi at 7.05 pm and reach Bhopal at 8.25 pm. From Bhopal to Delhi, AI-438 will take off at 9.15 pm to reach Delhi at 11 pm.
