Air India Express is set to launch flight services to Varanasi and Patna from Hindon civil terminal next month. In March, the airline completed its metro circuit from the Hindon terminal, which it has been using as Delhi-NCR’s second airport since March 1, with the launch of flights to Chennai.
On May 1, an Airbus A320 aircraft, which has the capacity to accommodate 180 passengers, will depart from Varanasi at 11.05am to reach Hindon at 12.40pm. At 1.35pm, it will fly back to Varanasi. The first flight to Patna will take off at 11.50am to reach Hindon at 1.40pm. It will leave for Patna again at 2.25pm and reach there at 4.10pm.
Officials said bookings for both routes have opened.
While NCR’s second international airport in Jewar is expected to open later this year, Hindon civil terminal has seen a growing passenger base. People from Ghaziabad, Noida, East Delhi and nearby Saharanpur and Meerut are increasingly opting to fly from the terminal to save time and travel cost.
The basic fare for Patna-Ghaziabad is ₹5,573 (excluding other charges), while one has to pay ₹4,700 for a flight from Ghaziabad to Patna. The fare from Hindon to Varanasi is ₹3,384 and ₹3,669 on the return journey. Presently, passengers travelling to the two cities have to take a flight to or from Delhi, and the airfare is a little higher when compared to flights to the civil terminal. AI Express airfare from Delhi to Varanasi is ₹4,899 and Varanasi to Delhi is ₹3,741. The fare from Delhi to Patna is ₹4,900 and Patna to Delhi is ₹6,085.
The airport is now connected to all the metro cities, with a daily flight each to Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, and two to Bengaluru. AI Express also operates on the Goa, Jammu and Bhubaneswar routes.
Bengaluru-based aviation company Star Air also operates two flights from Hindon to Nanded in Maharashtra and Adampur in Punjab under the regional connectivity scheme.
