Flying to Europe, US: Some good news, some bad

Ahmedabad: There is good news and bad news for tourists and travellers to European and US destinations. Good news first: the time taken to fly with Air India from Ahmedabad to these places will soon get cut substantially.
But, the flip side is the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (SVP) International Airport at Ahmedabad will no more have direct connectivity with Frankfurt as the solitary flight of Air India (AI) Ahmedabad-Frankfurt, connecting the city and Europe directly, will fly for the last time on November 2.
The AI authorities have cancelled the Ahmedabad-Frankfurt flight from November 2 onwards, after its winter schedule was prepared. An official said, "AI authorities have decided to use Delhi's newly-built swanky T3 terminal as a hub for international travellers. This will replace the Frankfurt hub because that has proved to be a costly affair. This will also bring down the travel time for passengers headed for these destinations."
According to AI sources, the move is based on pure economics and will give a better experience to the international passengers.
