Buoyed by the good response to the Moscow-Delhi direct flight, Air India is planning to extend the service to the resort state of Goa, a senior official of India’s national carrier told RIR. “We would like to add Goa to the route in time for the tourist season in November,” the official said on the condition of anonymity as he is not authorised to talk to the media.
Air India flies to Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport four times a week and in what is only the second direct connection between the capital cities. Aeroflot operates a daily direct flight to Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport. The Air India official added that the carrier may fly daily to Moscow during the tourist season once the Goa connection is finalised.
At the moment, the preferred route for Russian tourists to fly to Goa is through charter flights. Several airlines operate charter flights from October to April between the Indian state and Moscow.
