Chandigarh: With the introduction of two new daily flights by Kingfisher Airlines today, air travel in the city is surely going to get a boost. Adding two new destinations-Jammu and Srinagar — to its route through one flight and another flight to Delhi — in addition to the one already in place, the airlines seeks to cater to the long-pending demands of frequent flyers.
With this new development, the flight activity stands at a total of ten departures or 20 movements of five different airlines from Chandigarh.
The 66-seater plane took off with 35 passengers for Jammu today at its scheduled departure time of 9.30 am while the other flight for Delhi was boarded by 25 passengers, which left the city at 3.30 pm.
The one-hour air journey between Chandigarh and Jammu is covered at a minimum fare of Rs 2,879 and that of Chandigarh-Srinagar is covered within two-and-a-half hours at a minimum fare of Rs 2,829. Both the fares are inclusive of taxes.
The new flight to Delhi has been introduced almost two hours prior to the existing flight. It took off at 3.30 from Chandigarh and reached Delhi within an hour while the existing flight departs at 5.35 pm and reaches Delhi at 6.30 pm.
There is, however, no confirmation yet of the MDLR Airlines flight from Chandigarh to Jamshedpur.
