Kochi flight to be promoted


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.
