Air India introduces additional flight on Mumbai-Bhopal sector

BHOPAL: Air India will introduce an additional flight on the Mumbai-Bhopal-Mumbai sector from March 27.

"This second flight will be operated with Airbus (A319) aircraft on Mumbai-Bhopal-Mumbai sector to cater to needs of commercial people as well as tourists," Air India's Area Manager (MP-CG) Vishrut Acharya said today.

The flight AI-631 will depart from Mumbai at 7.45 PM and reach Bhopal at 9.10 PM, while the same flight with code AI-632 will arrive back in Mumbai at 10.55 PM, he said.

With this the commercial passengers going to Mumbai will have an option of going in the morning with the existing 7.55 AM flight and after completing their day's work they can easily come back to Bhopal in the night with the evening flight, Acharya said.

It will also provide international connectivity to passengers going abroad as they can now easily catch their connecting flights from Mumbai which normally departs in the late night hours, he said.
