Air India will increase frequency from Bangalore airport effective April 4.

With the lifting of runway restriction by BIAL, the enhanced frequency will enable the national carrier to cater to the increased passenger demand during holiday season, said a press release from Air India.

The airline will fly additional capacity to Male (two daily flights), Delhi (five direct flights), Mumbai (four direct flights), Chennai, Kolkata, and Kochi (daily).

The Bangalore-Hyderabad daily flight will operate on the Bangalore-Pune-Goa sector, except on Saturdays when it will be a Bangalore-Hyderabad direct service as the Pune airport will be closed.

The airline will operate four flights a week on the Bangalore-Goa-Dubai sector, while it will operate thrice weekly service on the Bangalore-Hyderabad-Muscat route, said the press release.
