Low cost carrier AirAsia today started its services in northern India with the launch of daily direct flights to Jaipur and Chandigarh from Bangalore.
AirAsia India CEO, Mittu Chandilya, who was here on the Bangalore—Jaipur launch flight, said both the cities have great potential to expand and hence the airline has set aggressive targets and beginning of flights to the two new routes was a part of the business strategy.
“The cities have good potential for business. Tourism is high in Jaipur. The initial response is good and we hope to get a good passenger load,” Chandilya said here.
He said that the airline was focusing on smaller cities which have good population and infrastructure to expand its network.
“We are in conversation with the government in Rajasthan to plan flight to other cities including Udaipur,” he added.
