Siliguri, Nov 15: Liquor Baron Vijay Mallya`s
Kingfisher Airlines is gearing up to start flights from the
Bagdogra Airport. From tomorrow the airline will start daily
connecting flights between Bagdogra and Bangalore landing
in Guwahati, Kolkata and Hyderabad on the route - and without
break journeys.
Now, people in the region, will be able
to travel to Bangalore and Hyderabad in the
same plane without the annoying ritual of break journeys.
According to the chairman and managing director of the company,
Mallya, it is part of an ambitious plant to expand the network
of destinations and to revolutionise the service of business
and leisure travel in this region.
Passengers will be able to board the Airline`s
seventh brand new Airbus A320, from Bagdogra at 3.15 pm and
reach Hyderabad at 8.40 pm and Bangalore at 10.20 pm. However,
there is a slight snag because passengers destined to Kolkata
on the Kingfisher will have to go via Guwahati, which is not
the case with other airlines.
The fare for the Bagdogra-Guwahati has two ranges, the lower
one costs Rs 2,999 and the higher one is priced at Rs 3,299.
With the availability of Kingfisher Airlines,
Bagdogra now has four airlines operating for the North Bengal
region including Indian Airlines, Jet Airways and Air Deccan. |
