SpiceJet to offers new connections to Bangalore, Delhi from May 15

Nagpur: Flyers to Bangalore and Delhi from the city will soon have another option with low cost airline SpiceJet planning to launch daily flights to these destinations from May 15. The flight will be operated from Delhi and Bangalore and will have a halt in Nagpur in both directions.
Confirming the development, a senior Mihan India Private Limited (MIPL) official said that SpiceJet officials have sought permission to operate the flights. The flight will take off from New Delhi at 7am, reach Nagpur at 8.40am and take off to Bangalore at 9.10am, where it will land at 11am. The return leg has been scheduled for the evening with the flight taking from Bangalore at 6.20pm, reaching Nagpur at 8.05pm and taking off to New Delhi at 8.30pm, where it will arrive at 10.10pm.
This will take the number of domestic flights being operated from Nagpur to 28 (14 each way). Apart from this, there is also one international to Sharjah operated by Air Arabia.
The flights by Spice Jet has given city travellers additional flights to both cities. Indigo (8.15pm) and JetLite (8.45am) have flights to Bangalore and, Air India (9.20am), JetLite (8.05am) and Go Air (8.40pm) operate flights to New Delhi.
Indigo, which operates flights from the city to Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune and Delhi, connected Nagpur to Bangalore and Indore last month. The flight is operated on the Delhi-Indore-Nagpur-Bangalore route.
Until a few days ago, there were no direct connections to Bangalore with a city flyer being forced to travel there via Mumbai on a JetLite flight. In Mumbai, passengers had no option but to wait in the aircraft for around 40 minutes.
