These flights cater to the increasing travel demand to and from Hyderabad, in line with the government’s vision to improve accessibility and tourism infrastructure in the state. It is definitely a big feat for us to celebrate as we also reduce our carbon footprint through induction of e-buses for ground operations. We will strive to stay true to our vision of sustainability and promise of affordable fares, on-time performance, courteous and hassle-free service across our wide network.”

A recent industry report stated that Hyderabad emerged as one of the most frequently booked business cities in India and bookings from Hyderabad increased by 100 per cent year on year. The 150+ departures from Hyderabad will help in catering to the growing traffic demand and passenger volume from the city, as Indian aviation marks recovery and growth in 2023.
