Dubai flight switches over to night slots

Pune: The Pune-Dubai direct flight service of Air India Express has now switched over to the night time slots. The flight's new arrival time from Dubai is 1.30 am and departure time from Pune is 2.30 pm.
"The change in timings is on account of the director general of civil aviation's winter schedule of flights that came into effect from Monday," Air India's Pune station manager Dhairyasheel Vandekar said.
The Air India Express, which is a subsidiary of Air India, had earlier approached the DGCA for a change in the flight timings as part of its strategic business plan.
The Pune-Dubai direct flight was the first international flight service to be launched from the city's Lohegaon airport on December 12, 2005. Initially, the service was operated by the Air India for over a year before it was taken over by the Air India Express.
