AirAsia India Starts New Route Linking 3 Cities

By Saraswathi Muniappan NEW DELHI, Dec 18 (Bernama) -- AirAsia India, which is fast expanding in the country, has added Pune to its network with inaugural flights from Bengaluru to Pune and Pune to Jaipur. “AirAsia India’s first flight to Pune is yet another milestone for us and an important part of our expansion plan. "It is overwhelming to see the response we are getting from our flyers and our entire team is delighted to see fully loaded flights," AirAsia India chief executive officer Mittu Chandilya said in a statement. The inaugural flight from Bengaluru to Pune witnessed a 100 per cent flight load. Bengaluru, or Bangalore, is the capital of the southern Indian state of Karnataka, while Jaipur is the capital and largest city of the state of Rajasthan in Northern India. Pune is the eighth largest metropolis in India and the second largest in the state of Maharashtra. Chandilya said AirAsia India is the first airline in the country to operate the Pune–Jaipur route, which the budget airline believes has immense potential. AirAsia India currently operates flights from Bengaluru to Chennai/Kochi/Goa/ Chandigarh/Jaipur/Pune and vice versa. -- BERNAMA
