Kingfisher to commence new flights

Leading private carrier Kingfisher Monday publicized it was launching new flights on the domestic sector, connecting Jabalpur and Belgaum to Mumbai.

The other flights will function on the Jabalpur-Indore and Indore-Mumbai routes.

We are the first airline to present air connectivity from Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh and Belgaum in north Karnataka to Mumbai in our winter schedule, Kingfisher Vice-president Manoj Chacko said in a statement here.

Though bookings opened Monday, the airline will start the service on the Mumbai-Belgaum route Jan 10 and on the Mumbai-Jabalpur-Indore route Jan 24.

The new services are aimed at providing suitable connections between the country's financial capital and significant cities and make possible greater economic activity, Chacko said.
