Now, early evening flight to Mumbai

Nagpur: Beginning Saturday, air passengers will have a reason to smile as a new flight begins its service. The flight will leave Nagpur at 7.15 pm and land in Mumbai at 8.30 pm. Jet Airways has replaced its regular flights with the low-cost JetLite.
The evening JetLite 144-capacity Boeing aircraft will take off from Mumbai at 5.25 pm and land in Nagpur at 6.45 pm.
In the morning, the 168-capacity Boeing aircraft will depart from Mumbai at 7 am and arrive in Nagpur at 8.25 am. The Mumbai-bound flight will depart from Nagpur at 8.55 am and reach Mumbai at 10.10 am, informed a senior JetLite official.
Both the morning and evening flights will be operated with minimum airfare of Rs 3125 (including taxes). JetLite will offer airfares in four slabs with lowest being Rs 3,175 and Rs 3,325, Rs 3,475 and Rs 3,645, the official added. The other airlines operating in Mumbai sector like Air India (departure 8.45 pm) and Indigo (8.40 pm) departs late in night and reach Mumbai after 10 pm, putting passengers to inconvenience many times.
Both the morning and evening flights for November 1, have received overwhelming response from passengers as almost 120 seats in morning flight and 85 in evening flight were booked a day before the launch (on Friday).
“The fares charged by JetLite during the period of rising airfares are comparatively less than the other airlines,” the official claimed.
