Travel Club and
Confederation of Indian Industry, Madurai Zone, plan to promote the
Madurai-Kochi Air India flight, to be launched on Monday.
Addressing the press
here on Sunday, Travel Club president B.S.G. Musthafa said that airliners such
as Jet Airways, Spice Jet, Emirates Airlines, Kuwait Airways, Malaysian
Airlines, Air Asia, Gulf Air and Sri Lankan Airlines operated international
flights from Kochi. The two organisations were also pushing for connectivity to
Bangalore. With Madurai having been declared a customs airport, passengers
could catch international flights through Kochi once the immigration counters
came up at Madurai.
Mihin Lanka had
already assured Travel Club that it would launch a flight service between
Colombo and Madurai in the winter schedule (November).
Air India flight
AI9503 will depart from Kochi at 3.30 p.m., arrive at Madurai by 4.35 p.m. and
return to Kochi as AI 9504 by 5.20 p.m. It would be operated on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays with an ATR aircraft with a seating capacity of 48.
