Air Deccan's flights from Ahmedabad will take off on Wednesday and the airline is planning to woo Gujarati passengers with lower fares. | |
| Air Deccan will also operate flights within the state, connecting various cities. It will also operate flights connecting cities in Maharashtra with those in Gujarat, starting Friday. |
| |
| Air Sahara charges Rs 3,450 for an economy class ticket from Ahmedabad to Mumbai and Jet Airways charges a little higher at Rs 3,496. Indian Airlines also charges a similar fare for the journey. |
| |
| However, a passenger opting for an Air Deccan flight will have to pay only Rs 2,200 for a one-way journey to Mumbai from Ahmedabad, two important business cities in the western part of the country. |
| |
| Air Deccan will commence its Ahmedabad-Bhuj flight Thursday. The journey between the business city and the farthest corner of the state will cost Rs 2,200 and no other airline operates in this sector. |
| |
| "The two cities are located in the extreme corners of the state. But both are known for their business potential. Bhuj has so far been neglected by major airlines. Only a few flights connect the city directly with Mumbai. With the new Ahmedabad-Bhuj flight, the distance of over 400 kms will now be covered in less than one hour.," said a member of the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI). |
