Delhi-Srinagar evening flight services from June

New Delhi, May 10

Budget carrier GoAir will launch a daily evening flight service connecting Srinagar to the national Capital from next month as part of its network expansion plans.

The proposed flight, scheduled to commence from June 15, will make GoAir the only carrier to have evening services to and from Srinagar.

“Effective from June 15, the GoAir flight G8 229 will take off from Delhi at 4:50 pm and arrive in Srinagar at 6:10 pm while the return flight G8 228 will take off from Srinagar at 6:40 pm and arrive in Delhi at 8:05 pm,” the airline said in a release here.

The airline said there was a long-standing demand from the local authorities, leisure travellers and trade organisations for operating flights post 6 pm in the Valley.

“Srinagar has been a focus city for GoAir and it has always served the Valley with the first arrival and last departure flights for the last three summer seasons. With this new flight, GoAir will now serve Srinagar to Delhi 6 times non-stop,” said GoAir chief executive officer Wolfgang Prock-Schauer.

The evening flights will help local traders and officials transiting between Srinagar and Delhi, the airline said. — PTI
