National carrier Air India on Sunday reintroduced its direct flight
service between West Bengal's Durgapur and Delhi after a gap of nearly
two years, an airline official said here.
The flight that came
from Delhi to Durgapur's Andal airport early on Sunday, being celebrated
as Bengali new year, and later flew back to the national capital had
full occupancy on both ways.
"The flight reached Andal airport
around 7.30 a.m. The return flight AI-756, a 122-seater Airbus A319
aircraft, left Durgapur at 8.25 a.m.," the official said.
Air India first introduced its services to Durgapur in May 2015 but it was withdrawn in June 2016.
The
airline authority said the flight will currently operate four days a
week, noting that special promotional fare has evoked a lot of
enthusiasm among the passengers.
Union Minister and BJP leader
Babul Supriyo who was on the flight hailed the initiative, saying the
demand for tickets was good news for the airline as well as the airport.
"It
was discussed and decided that the flight services will resume on this
auspicious day. It's great to see that all the seats were filled. The
current trend is exciting for the service providers," he added.
