Now, fly to Lucknow, Patna via Delhi

Pune: The city will now be linked by air to three new destinations with low cost carrier GoAir announcing here on Tuesday that it will start daily flight services between Pune and Patna, Lucknow and Leh, all three via New Delhi, from October 2.
Apart from this, a Pune-Delhi direct flight service will also be started from October 2, GoAir's general manager (sales) Praveen Kumar told reporters. This flight will operate twice a day in the morning and evening, he added.
"We are looking at the vast community of infotech (IT) company employees, students and IAS officials who often travel on the Delhi, Lucknow and Patna routes for the new operations," said Nair. GoAir has targeted 85 per cent to 89 per cent passenger load factor per flight for these routes.
The airline company is on an expansion mode with plans to strengthen its domestic fleet of aircrafts, from the existing nine to 20 by 2013, he said. "One of the prime objectives behind this aircraft acquisition plan is to cater to various two-tier cities rather than the metros across India."
GoAir has been operating a single-configuration 180-seating capacity Airbus A 320s, with eight seats marked for business class travellers and the rest for the economy class, for its existing operations to various destinations in the country.
