AirAsia to fly between Mangalore and other South Indian cities

May 11, 2014

Mangalore, May 11: The AirAsia which recently entered India is expected to operate between Mangalore and many other South Indian cities.

AirAsia India is a joint venture of AirAsia Berhad, Malaysia, the Tata group and Telestra Tradeplace. It has recently received an air operator's permit from the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to start operations.

The new airlines is trying to make use of the huge potential for air connection in South Indian cities.

Convenient connections are not available for travel between Chennai and cities like Mangalore, Coimbatore, Trichy, Thiruvananthapuram, Calicut, Madurai, Kochi and Hyderabad.

There are no direct flights from Chennai to Calicut, Mysore, Mangalore and Vijayawada though the demand is high. People are forced to fly via Bangalore which takes almost an hour more than direct flights. Round-about flights are also expensive.

"There are over a billion people travelling by train in India at present and with AirAsia' s everyday low fares, we hope to present to them the convenience of flying and getting to their desired destinations in a faster, cheaper and safer manner," said Mittu Chandilya, AirAsia CEO.

Last minute one-way fares are expensive — Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 for economy class on low-cost carriers from Chennai to Madurai, Coimbatore, Trichy, Thiruvananthapuram, cities less than an hour's flight away.

The new airline is 49 per cent owned by AirAsia while Tata group holding company Tata Sons Ltd owns 30 per cent and Telestra Tradeplace Pvt Ltd has 21 per cent in the venture.
