KOLKATA : Air India started another thrice-aweek operation between Hyderabad and the industrial belt in Burdwan, the service was started on sunday at  The Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport at Andal near Durgapur as Air india, which was already running three flights a week to Delhi.

The flight is to be operated with the 144 all economy seater Airbus A319 aircraft that will fly between Hyderabad and Durgapur every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. While the timings are odd, airline officials opined low pricing and the timing itself would be attractive to passengers.  

“Bookings for the next few days are also encouraging. Because of the late night journey, people can fly at night and save the day. This flight will allow passengers to catch connecting flights from Hyderabad to other states in south India at ease as they would reach Hyderabad as early as 4. 30am. This timing will surely act as a catalyst for passengers to take this flight,” said Apurva Sharma, the airport director.
