Kochi: Kolkata would become closer to Kerala from April when Air India Express launches its direct flight to Kochi from the capital city of West Bengal.
The airline said that this six day a week flight will take off Kolkata at 11.25 am and reach the destination at 2.35 pm, while the return flight will leave at 3.05 pm and land in Kolkata at 6.10 pm.
The airline through route integration will be operating more flights on various domestic routes, a top official said.
Meanwhile, the airline has recently announced introduction of four fare products- Xpress Lite (cabin baggage only fares), Xpress Value (15 kg check-in bag fare), Xpress Flex (unlimited changes with no change fees), and XpressBiz (business class seating with complimentary Gourmair meals and priority services)
The airline said its Xpress Biz fares are available on all the new Air India Express Boeing 737-8 aircraft, as a business class equivalent that disrupts the traditional Low Cost carrier (LCC) model with a hybrid offering.
Guest can enjoy increased baggage allowances of 25kg for domestic flights and 40 kg for international flights when booking Xpress Biz fares.
Air India Express, a fully-owned subsidiary of Air India, is already operating aircraft with `Biz’ seats across 70 routes in India, connecting metro cities with other key destinations.
