Coimbatore: With industrialists and citizen groups continuing to mount pressure on the civil aviation ministry to connect the city with Dubai, Air India is offering flights from Coimbatore to Dubai with a stopover in Chennai.
During the weekend, several passengers received a message from Air India stating that it is offering a one stop service from Coimbatore to Dubai. A 321 would leave the city at 3.05pm and reach Chennai at 4.15pm. Passengers could then take the 6.45pm flight that reaches Dubai at 9.45pm. They can return in the 11.10pm flight from Dubai and reach Chennai at 4.55am. They can then shift into the 5.50am Alliance Air flight to Coimbatore and land here at 7am.
Air India clarified that the flight is already operational. “The new addition is the 7am Alliance Air flight. But catching this flight might be difficult if passengers get delayed in the customs and immigration,” said Girija, Air India station manager in Coimbatore. “But the flight going to Dubai is comfortable, because the 2.5hour stopover will give passengers adequate time to walk to the international terminal and clear immigration and customs,” she said.
