Dragonair’s Kolkata to Hong Kong flight may miss October deadline

Kolkata: The much-awaited Kolkata to Hong Kong direct flight by Dragonair is likely to miss its October schedule. The sister airline of Cathay Pacific Airways anticipates a delayed beginning of the service, as Kolkata airport’s integrated terminal is far from meeting its October deadline for completion.
According to Mr Rakesh Raicar, Regional Sales and Marketing Manager South Asia, Dragonair, the company is awaiting a ‘definite’ date to start operations from the Airports Authority of India (AAI).
“We wanted to begin operations from October. But, we still have to work with them requiring a definite start date. We will be meeting the officials from airport authority next week to decide whether they want to postpone,” Mr Raicar told Business Line.
