~ The introduction of daily direct flights will enhance connectivity to and from the regional
hub of Pune, in Maharashtra.
~ Better and regular connectivity will help Bharat’s regional hubs flourish, according to
FLY91 CEO and MD Manoj Chacko.
With an eye on the rise in travel activities around the festive season of Diwali, FLY91, India’s pure play regional airline, has announced direct daily flights connecting Pune-Goa and Pune-Jalgaon from October 27 onwards, significantly enhancing regional connectivity on the two routes.
The introduction of daily flights on the two routes will not only enhance connectivity to Pune, the cultural capital of Maharashtra, a centre for IT and ITES services and an education hub, but will also offer convenient direct outbound air-travel options for Pune- based residents.
The Pune-Goa route will facilitate ease of travel for students, leisure seekers and promote MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) tourism in Goa, a leading holiday destination.
The Pune-Jalgaon route will increase business and student travel, along with leisure traffic drawn to the Ajanta and Ellora caves, UNESCO-endorsed world heritage sites in Jalgaon.
Diwali, one of the most popular festivals in Maharashtra, witnesses a bump in travel activity on account of people utilising the holiday to travel back to their ancestral homes for celebrations with family or to plan vacations. Dhanteras, which marks the beginning of five-day Diwali festivities, has been scheduled for the end of the month.
“The commencement of daily flights along the Pune-Goa-Pune and Pune-Jalgaon-Pune routes signifies FLY91’s commitment to improve regional connectivity between tier 2 & tier 3 cities across the nation. Better connectivity will usher trade & economic development and prosperity to these underserved regions,” said Manoj Chacko, CEO and Managing Director FLY91.
In addition to the above routes, FLY91 will continue to ply its aircraft on the Pune – Sindhudurg route, twice a week. Based out of Manohar International Airport, Goa, FLY91 currently connects regional centres such as Pune, Jalgaon and Sindhudurg in Maharashtra, as well as Agatti in Lakshadweep and cities like Hyderabad.
