Kingfisher Airlines Boosts Bangalore – Pune Links

Posted 18/04/2011

Independent Indian carrier Kingfisher Airlines will this week add a third daily frequency between the cities of Bangalore and Pune.  The aircraft will depart Bangalore in the late evening, arriving back at the Indian city in the early hours of the following morning. 

An estimated 413,000 O&D passengers travelled between the two destinations in the past year, a 25.3 per cent increase on the previous 12 month period.  Alongside Kingfisher Airlines, Jet Airways offers 13 flights per week, while IndoGo Airlines and Spicejet each offer one flight per day.   

Kingfisher has held a 36 per cent share of this traffic for the past two years and this network growth will help it to develop its presence in an expanding market.  However, as capacity increases the strain on yields is apparent with average fares falling by 3.3 per cent in the past year.

Schedule:

IT3417 BLR2140 – 2300PNQ 319 D
IT3418 PNQ2330 – 0050+1BLR 319 D
