Indian to introduce flights to Patna, Lakshadweep

Domestic carrier Indian said it will start daily flights on the Delhi-Patna and Kochi-Agatti routes soon. While the flights to Patna would start from Saturday and operate on all days barring Sunday, the Kochi-Agatti service would be launched in July and would operate on a daily-basis with a 48-seater ATR aircraft. The flights to Agatti in Lakshadweep islands would be operated by Indian's wholly-owned subsidiary Alliance Air, the company spokesperson said. The service, which has been in demand for a long time, would also allow air cargo shipment by traders, especially of perishable items. The state-owned carrier has also received this year's prestigious Pacific Area Travel Writers Association (Patwa) award for being India’s 'most trusted airline'. Patwa also awarded the airline's Director General (Commercial) Anita Khurana as the 'best marketing person in aviation', the spokesperson said.
