Air India to operate daily flight on Delhi-Surat route

NEW DELHI: Air India will operate a flight daily on the Delhi-Surat route from February 1 instead of flying four days a week now to meet the growing demand.

Earlier, the government-run airline had curtailed the services to four flights per week from six per week.

Air India has decided to enhance frequency on the Delhi- Surat sector from four days to seven days with effect from February 1, an statement from the airline said.

The Delhi-Surat route is serviced by a 67-seater regional jet, CRJ.

The flight, AI 0607, departs from Delhi at 07.45 AM and arrives in Surat at 09.25 AM. The return flight, AI 0608, leaves Surat at 09.55 AM and lands in Delhi at 11.35 AM.

Delhi-Surat-Delhi Air India flight is highly popular among textile and diamond businessmen and provides seamless connectivity between two business cities, the airline said.

Besides, the flight also offers convenient connections to other international flights from/to Delhi, it said.
