Jet Airways to operate Chandigarh-Mumbai flights

Chandigarh: The Jet Airways, currently operating a single flight from Chandigarh to Delhi, will soon link the city with a direct flight to Mumbai. According to an official of the company, the Jet in this regard has sent a proposal to the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), New Delhi. “The Jet Airways has long been planning to start its Mumbai operation from this city but the project got hauled up for some reason or the other. Finally, we are all geared up for the project now and are very hopefull of getting the DGCA clearance very soon,” said a Jet official.
He added that the airlines would employ a Boeing aircraft for its Mumbai services. “There is not a single direct flight from Chandigarh to Mumbai in spite of large commuters between Mumbai and Punjab and Haryana. We hope to take advantage of this vaccuum and launch a full fledged flight to Mumbai,” he added. The details about the time slot is yet to be finalised though the airlines has asked for an early morning flight.
