IndiGo will start a direct daily flight between Vizag and Delhi and a third daily flight between Vizag and Hyderabad from October 10.
The decision to start the flights, which will see IndiGo consolidate its position as the largest operator from Vizag with seven daily departures, was announced following a meeting with Civil Aviation Minister, Ashok Gajapathi Raju, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and representative of airlines here on Tuesday.
At the meeting, the Chief Minister said the State is favourably considering a proposal to reduce the sales tax on aviation turbine fuel to about 1 per cent.
Confirming the development, IndiGo President Aditya Ghosh, said bookings for the Vizag-Delhi flight had been opened. “It was amazing to see the Chief Minister listen to us and take such prompt action.
In return, we are increasing our flights as a demonstration of our commitment to the State,” Aditya said. The meeting was attended by Rohit Nandan, Chairman of Air India, and senior officials of various airlines including SpiceJet, GoAir and AirAsia.
