Following the current expansion spree in the aviation industry, budget carrier GoAir has also joined the bandwagon with its rival SpiceJet and IndiGo to add new flights. GoAir will add 28 new flights in its network, most of them being daily flights, the carrier announced on Wednesday. Out of these, eight flights will be from Mumbai and seven from Delhi, it added. The new flights will begin operations in two days, i.e on 26 April 2019.
GoAir will have its maiden flight to Delhi-Nagpur-Delhi and Delhi-Kochi-Delhi with this. It has also said that on some routes, the fares will be as low as Rs 1,368. Other cities that have been added are Ahmedabad, Goa, Chandigarh, Ranchi, Jaipur, Lucknow, Patna, Pune and Kochi.
The void in India’s aviation industry was created by Jet Airways shut down and the erstwhile grounding of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft post-Ethiopian plane crash tragedy. Airlines have been looking to fill the void amid ongoing peak summer season.
