GoAir to operate Kochi-Coimbatore flight

Budget airline GoAir will add five more sectors with eight new flights next month to expand its fleet by 33 per cent as it revamps its operations in the fast growing domestic aviation market.

The new sectors are Goa-Delhi, Pune-Delhi, Mumbai- Chennai, Mumbai-Hyderabad and Kochi-Coimbatore, the airline promoted by the Wadia group said here today.

The new flights will begin from August 22, it said.

"This is part of our strategy to consolidate on key routes within our current network. These routes will provide convenient service to business and leisure travellers alike," GoAir Managing Director Jeh Wadia said.

With the launch of the new routes, GoAir will operate 32 daily flights across 13 destinations.

The airline has also announced 50,000 tickets at special fares starting from Rs 525. These tickets will be available to passengers who wish to travel between July 19 and December 16, and will be applicable to both existing and new sectors to be launched next month, the airline said.

Last week, GoAir placed an order for 10 Airbus A320s as part of its fleet augmentation programme.

The low-cost carrier currently operates a fleet of Airbus A320s, with 24 flights covering 13 cities including Jammu and Srinagar.
