Air India Express To Start Flights Between Bengaluru, Tier-2 Cities
Air India Express has recently merged its resources and operations with AirAsia India. As a result of this, the airline is launching direct and daily flights connecting Bengaluru with Gwalior and Kozhikode. The flight from Bengaluru to Gwalior will have an additional destination, New Delhi, as a part of its route.
The inaugural flight for the new route between Bengaluru, Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, and New Delhi is scheduled for 16 January 2024, at 5:10am. The flight will reach Gwalior in around two and a half hours and then fly further north to New Delhi in just over an hour.
On its way back to Bengaluru, the flight will stop at Gwalior again and reach Bengaluru at 6:10pm. Ankur Garg, Chief Commercial Officer of Air India Express, said that both Kozhikode and Bengaluru are significant stations within their extensive network.
Kozhikode hosts the highest number of Air India Express international flights, while Bengaluru commands the largest share of domestic flights. The introduction of a direct flight connecting these two cities will facilitate convenient one-stop itineraries to numerous destinations across India and the Middle East.
The inaugural direct flight on the Bengaluru-Kozhikode route is also scheduled for 16 January 2024 at 6:45pm and will arrive in Kozhikode within an hour.
