Pune: Jaipur has become the 12th domestic destination to figure on Pune's air map as low-cost carrier AirAsia launched its Pune-Jaipur flight on a low-key affair here on Wednesday. The new service is part of a hopping flight that originates from Bangalore to Pune and onwards to Jaipur. It also marks AirAsia's presence in the city.
"AirAsia is known to be a point-to-point carrier but, as we grow, we have deviated for the first time from our model by getting into a non point-to-point service," AirAsia India's chief executive officer Mittu Chandilya said during an interaction prior to the launch. "Pune was always up there in our commercial plan," he said.
Expressing dissatisfaction over the time slots allotted to its flight at the airport, he said: "Ideally, people in our model love to do morning and evening flights to ensure return to their place of origin on the same day. We have taken the best available option considering the restrictions at Pune airport," he said.
