From March 20, IndiGo to have Delhi-Istanbul daily non-stop flight
Times of India 27.01.2019
New Delhi: IndiGo will start a daily non-stop flight between Delhi and Istanbul from March 20, 2019, making it the most distant destination an Indian low cost carrier has had on its network till date. The airline has opened bookings for Istanbul, half of the city being in Europe, with promotional fares starting at ₹23,999.
IndiGo will be the first Indian carrier to fly to Turkey. Currently, Turkish Airlines has a daily direct on Delhi-Istanbul and Mumbai-Istanbul routes. IndiGo will deploy the Airbus A321-Neo to Istanbul, which will be IndiGo’s 16th international destination.
IndiGo’s flight from Delhi (with flagship code 6E 0011) will depart at 1.40pm and reach Istanbul at 6.10pm. The return flight (6E 0012) will leave Istanbul at 7.45pm and reach Delhi at 4.15am (all local timings). TNN
Government gives nod for cheap flights from six water airports
New Delhi: In about a year, you could be boarding a seaplane from the Sabarmati riverfront, like PM Narendra Modi did before the Gujarat state poll, to fly to the Statue of Unity. The government on Friday approved subsidized flights from six water airports that include (apart from the two mentioned above) Guwahati riverfront, Nagarjuna Sagar, Shatrunjay Dam and Umrangso reservoir under the third round of ‘ude desh ka aam nagrik (Udan)’ scheme.
International flights between Guwahati and Dhaka and Bangkok will also start under Udan-3, said aviation minister Suresh Prabhu.
All 235 routes — like Faizabad (Ayodhya) to Hindon airbase (near Delhi) — have been awarded under this regional connectivity scheme (RCS) scheme, with the spotlight being on seaplanes and Udan-international. TNN
