Air India starts hourly flights on the Mumbai/Delhi sector

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 17 November 2012 | 17.34

MUMBAI: Responding to the increase in demand for flights because of the holiday season, Air India, on Monday, launched a schedule that has flights operating between Mumbai and Delhi (both ways) every hour.

"Passengers can travel on the Mumbai/Delhi/Mumbai sector every hour starting from 6am in the morning to 11pm in the evening daily,'' said a release issued by the airline. The Mumbai /Delhi/ Mumbai sector of the airline is operated with Airbus A-320 and A- 321 aircraft. The hourly flight operation amounting to 18 flights on this route was started on Monday. ``Passengers can avail of mostly direct flights and a few one stopover flights on this sector,'' the release said. Air India flies to 63 domestic stations and 27 international destinations.

However the Air India hourly flights have not bought down airfares on this route. The reason is that there has been no increase in the number of flights operated by Air India on this route. The airline has stuck to its winter schedule, but earlier, like all other carriers, Air India too bunched its Mumbai-Delhi-Mumbai flights with a spike in flight frequency during the peak hours of morning and evening. The difference now is that the airline has evenly spread out its flight schedule throughout the day to ensure one departure every hour from each of these airports.

On Saturday, Air India one -way airfare on the route for the weekend and for next week started at Rs 8,600. The cheapest fares for a Mumbai-Delhi flight was being offered by low-cost airlines and was in the range of Rs 8,200. But a few weeks ago, during the current peak season, the fares on this route were very dynamic with the cheapest fare starting at Rs 9,000-Rs 11,000 on some days, especially for early morning flights. The Air India scheme may get the lowest airfares on the Mumbai-Delhi route average out at Rs 8000-Rs 9000.
