AirAsia India to start multiple flights connecting Ahmedabad

Starting from November 22, AirAsia India will fly daily on the Ahmedabad-Bengaluru route. The airline also has plans to start multiple flights connecting Ahmedabad with major destinations like Delhi, Goa and Hyderabad. Ahmedabad will become the 21st destination on the airline’s network after the beginning of services on the Ahmedabad-Bengaluru route.

“We will soon be launching Ahmedabad-Delhi by next month, with increased frequency to 3X (three times) daily, further down the line. Alongside that, we will also be increasing the Ahmedabad-Bengaluru frequency to 2x (two times) daily,” said Sanjay Kumar, COO, AirAsia India.

He said the airline is keen on expanding its operations in Ahmedabad by introducing flights on the Ahmedabad-Goa and Ahmedabad-Hyderabad routes.

“With our expansion plans firming up steadily, we plan to add a few more destinations by 2020 which we will keep you posted about. Our fleet size currently stands at 24 at the moment and we plan to add five more by the year-end. We started off the year with 18 aircraft in our fleet which will see a surge of over 50 per cent by the year-end as we have plans to take our aircraft count to 29,” Kumar told.
