Patna: A new IndiGo night flight (6E-239) will begin operating from the Jayaprakash Narayan International (JPNI) Airport from the intervening night of June 3 and 4. It will arrive at Patna at 12.05am and take off for Bengaluru at 4.10am.
The flight, which is set to operate daily on the Bengaluru-Patna-Bengaluru route, will complete its one-way journey in two and a half hours.
A Jet Airways flight (9W3557) is also likely to begin operations between Patna and Allahabad thrice a week from June 14. It will reach Patna at 9.40am and leave for Allahabad at 10.10am on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. The journey will be covered in 1 hour and 35 minutes.
As of now, only one Jet Airways night flight (9W 2540) operates on the Pune-Patna-Pune route six days a week.
According to JPNI director Rajender Singh Lahauria, bookings for both the flights have already started.
An executive officer of Jet Airways claimed the response of passengers to the new flight was good. “Earlier, there was no direct flight from Patna to Allahabad. While connecting flights are available for Rs 11,000, the new Allahabad- Patna- Allahabad flight costs anywhere between Rs 1,500 and Rs 1,700,” said the officer.
Meanwhile, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has taken several measures in view of the second night flight from the Patna airport.
