Air Deccan to launch direct flight between Madurai and Bangalore

Low cost carrier Air Deccan today said it will launch a direct non-stop flight between this city and Bangalore from October 30. The direct service would help meet the growing demand for low-cost connectivity between towns and cities in South India, Air Deccan Chief of Corporate Planning Krishnaswamy told reporters.

He said apart from the recently introduced Tuticorin-Chennai flight, an additional flight could be operated to Tuticorin provided improved lighting facility is available at the airport for night landing. The airline also has plans to operate flights to Salem from November.

Claiming that Air Deccan flew three million passengers in 2005-06, Krishnaswamy said in the first half of 2006-07, the airline had carried 30 lakh passengers. It has doubled capacity and this year it hopes to carry sixty lakh passengers, he added.
