Finally, some focus on regional connectivity beyond the metros. Ayodhya, Varanasi, Srinagar... these routes will boost religious tourism significantly. Hope the fares remain competitive and not just for the initial launch period.
As someone from Gujarat, connecting Bhavnagar directly to a major hub like Navi Mumbai is brilliant. Will make it so much easier for students and professionals. But I hope the airport infrastructure in these smaller cities can handle the increased traffic.
Over 400 weekly departures from one new airport is impressive expansion. It shows confidence in the Navi Mumbai airport's potential. The connectivity to the North-East (Bagdogra) and South (Kannur, Vizag) is particularly noteworthy.
Good for connectivity, but let's be real. IndiGo's monopoly is growing. What about customer service and compensation for delays? More routes are good only if the service quality improves. Other airlines need to step up too.
This is a boon for tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Direct flights mean less travel time and more economic activity. My relatives in Patna will now find it much easier to visit. Hope other airlines follow suit on these regional routes.
