Cheap Airline Tickets for Non-Metro Routes of India

The number of fliers is growing day by day as per International Aviation Transport Association (IATA). An addition of over 900 million passengers has been calculated in tenure of five years, starting from 2012. Most of them will be domestic fliers; hence airlines are adding capacity on small cities of the home country. India is one among them and is witnessing a fast pace in the aviation sector. This has attracted many new players in the market, including global players. For instance, AirAsia – a Malaysia-based carrier – recently started operating in the Indian market, and provides ultra cheap airline tickets to a number of destinations lying in the southern part of the country. It has recently started operations in non-metro cities such as Jaipur. Other full-fledged as well as low-cost carriers (LCCs) have also announced flights on such routes.

As per several researches and analysis, it has been found that demand of flights connecting small cities will rise in the coming months, and the signs can clearly be seen in the current scenario. Patna Airport is one of the busiest airports of the country, connecting Bihar with other states of the country. Millions of fliers board flights to Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata as well as international destinations from terminals of the airport. Hence, leading carriers, especially LCCs, have launched new services to this city in the past few months. The state government has decided to extend the capacity of the terminal or may soon pass bills to build a new one because of the traffic.

Apart from this, GoAir recently made an announcement to commence services from and to Biju Patnaik Airport of Bhubaneswar after doing a thorough study. Air India and IndiGo provided their services to this city, but researches showed that the number of travellers is quite high; hence operation on this route can prove to be lucrative. The officials of the airline also expect an increase in the GoAir ticket booking after initiation of these scheduled flights. These reports emphasise on higher disposal income and rapid urbanisation as some of the important reasons, which have led to the boom in the industry. The number of passengers is expected to grow by 75 per cent, numerically over 217 million, in the next six years.

Analysts from the Centre for Aviation claim that much of the above-mentioned growth will come from smaller cities. As per records, a hike of 17 per cent has been recorded at these places since the year 2009. It is more than twice the growth recorded on popular metro routes. The government of the country is supportive and has recently announced construction of around 50 airports all across the nation to connect small towns. President of IndiGo, in agreement to all these statistics, said that opportunity is changing, and flights destined to these locations are fuller when compared to those operated on trunk routes. Zav Airways and Air Costa are planning to launch flights to the cities falling in the north-eastern and southern part of the nation by 2015, respectively.

GoAir Booking Extended to Odisha

The Indian low-cost carrier (LCC) GoAir is one of the leading airlines of the nation. This LCC is aggressively expanding its business in the country and may soon initiate its international business, as per latest reports. It has recently announced flights to Odisha from Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. Currently, it operates on more than 100 routes to over 20 Indian cities. A few days back, the airline initiated several feasibility reports for the initiation of operation in the state. The result seems to be positive as it has made an announcement regarding the commencement of operations in Odisha. It will provide travellers with an option to book cheap air ticket to the city. Biju Patnaik International Airport at Bhubaneswar will be its 22nd destination, where four flights are expected to land and depart in the coming months. Two of them are destined to New Delhi and one to Kolkata and Mumbai.

As per reports, the LCC is also keen to operate on Bhubaneswar and Bangalore route, but it may take some time as a number of studies have to be done before the commencement. Travellers can book tickets for the newly-launched routes after a week, but services will be initiated in January, next year. It is the third carrier to serve in the city after Air India and IndiGo. As per resources, GoAir booking counter will be opened at the terminal along with three check-in counters. The terminal currently handles 15 daily flights, which will be more than 20 in the coming months.

Apart from this, the airline will soon start global operations as it will receive the 20th aircraft as well as complete the fifth year by the end of this year. It is planning to submit an application regarding this as soon as the aircraft is received by the carrier.

In a bid to improvise upon services and enhance turnover, the budget carrier recently declared that it is planning to enhance its capacity by more than 20 per cent. One of the top officials of the airline said that the airline is pondering over certain objectives to accomplish its goals under the Vision 2015 plan.

The main agendas include expansion of network across cities, offering sustainable and attractive airfare, high model utilisation, as well as implementation of cost-efficient structure.

It is being predicted that with the steady implementation of growth plans and correct marketing strategies, this budget airline might soon emerge to be one of the thriving international carriers.
