Low cost carrier GoAir today announced that it will offer direct daily evening flights connecting Delhi and Srinagar as part of airline’s network development.

Effective June 15, 2016 and as per its latest proposed schedule, the GoAir flight G8 229 will take off from Delhi at 16:50 hrs and arrive in Srinagar at 18:10 hrs while the return flight G8 228 will take off from Srinagar at 18:40 hrs and arrive Delhi at 20:05 hrs.

“There was a long standing demand from local authorities, leisure travellers and various trade organisations for operating flights post 6 pm in the valley. This new schedule will help local traders and officials transiting between Srinagar and Delhi. The leisure travellers can now spend more time in the valley before heading back home," the company said in a statement.

GoAir CEO, Wolfgang Prock-Schauer said, “Srinagar has been a focus city for GoAir since long and it has always served the valley with first arrival and last departure flights for the last 3 Summer Seasons. With this new flight, GoAir will now serve Srinagar to Delhi 6 times nonstop.”
