December 29, 2013

Mangalore, Dec 29: Jet Airways will introduce a daily flight between Mangalore and Delhi via Bangalore from January 15, said J. T. Radhakrishna, director, Mangalore International Airport.

Jet Airways has come forward to bridge this major lacuna in Mangalore's connectivity to the rest of the country. Incidentally, Air India regional had operated on the Delhi-Mangalore sector with a direct flight in 2010. But the same was cancelled later due to lack of patronage from travellers.

As per the schedule announced by Jet Airways and displayed in its online booking systems, flight 9W2815 will leave New Delhi at 11.05am and reach Bangalore at 1.55pm. Jet Konnect will then operate the flight from Bangalore to Mangalore leaving Bangalore at 2.40pm and reach here at 3.40pm.

Jet Airways flight 9W816 will leave Mangalore at 4.15pm and reach Bangalore at 5.15pm. This flight will leave Bangalore at 5.55pm and reach Delhi at 8.45pm.

The earlier effort by Air India regional that operated directly from Delhi to Mangalore saw passengers reach the destinations in 150 minutes.

Air India regional had operated the Mangalore-Delhi flight via Kozhikode on certain days of the week and for the rest of the days it was a direct flight to Delhi.

In the present schedule, the flight with a stop-over in Bangalore will see passengers reach Mangalore from Delhi in 4 hours and 35 minutes.
