Pune: Taking into consideration what looks like increasing demand from Pune-based commuters to reach varied tourist destinations in minimum time, it appears airline companies have recently started providing several domestic flights from here, connected via well-frequented metro cities.
Over the last two months, airline companies introduced around nine such connected domestic flights — all of which have been getting an overwhelming response, they say.
In August, Spice Jet launched its first Pune-Mysore flight via Bangalore — it facilitates reaching destinations like Ooty, Kodaikanal, Coorg and others. Previously, to reach these locations, a Bangalore flight would generally be followed by road transport — this, however, was inconvenient because of heavy Bangalore traffic.
Nilesh Bhansali, director of the Travel Agents Association of Pune (PAAT), explained, "To tackle this problem, Spice Jet introduced the Pune-Mysore flight via Bangalore some days ago. This departs early in the morning and reaches by afternoon, after a one-hour halt at Bangalore airport. People prefer to halt at the airport rather than getting stuck in traffic, as it saves their time and energy."
