Can you fly from Chandigarh to New York ? Yes, say Air India officials.
Anyone interested in flying on a non-stop Mumbai-New York flight in a new generation Boeing 777 aircraft can do so by taking a Chandigarh-Mumbai flight of Indian without paying anything extra. The booking of baggage to the final destination and boarding passes for the Mumbai-New York flight will be issued in Chandigarh.
Transfer from the domestic terminal to the international terminal will be “seamless and hassle-free”, promise Air India officials. The fare charged will be the same as that charged from a passenger travelling from Mumbai to New York.
It is a buoyant Punjab market and the competition offered by a private airline, Jet Airways, on long-haul flights has made Air India consolidate its Punjab and Chandigarh operations besides concentrating on new hubs, including Srinagar, for expanding its base in north India.
