The Hindu Business Line : Paramount Chennai-Goa service

Paramount Airways on Wednesday launched its daily direct flight from Chennai to Goa. The flight, which is the only one that flies directly between the cities, will start daily at 12.45 p.m. and reach Goa an hour later. It will leave Goa at 2.20 p.m. and reach Chennai at 3.30 p.m.

Announcing the launch here, the company's Managing Director, Mr M. Thiagarajan, said there is a good demand for daily connectivity in this sector. Currently, only Indian Airlines operates twice-a-week direct flight on this sector. According to Mr Thiagarajan, Paramount will now connect the entire South with Goa better.

Paramount flies the 40-seater Brazilian Embraer jets. With this Chennai-Goa flight, Paramount, with five aircraft, operates 49 flights a day to various destinations in the South and West. "Our next move will probably be a daily flight to Pune," said Mr Thiagarajan. - Our Bureau
