Bhubaneswar: With the operation of GoAir flight services starting from the city today, air passengers now have more options before them when they plan their travel.
The introduction of the service is also having an impact on airfares between Bhubaneswar and other major cities in the country.
GoAir has started four flights from Bhubaneswar to Delhi, Mumbai and Calcutta and vice-versa.
On the first day of its operation, the new flight service has forced other operators to reduce their fares considerably and in the coming days the fares are expected to go down even further, as there seems to be multi-pronged competition among the service providers to woo passengers.
A search by The Telegraph for a flight on October 29 from different travel sites has revealed that airfare from Bhubaneswar to Delhi is hovering between Rs 4,000 and Rs 6,500, while earlier it used to be between Rs 6,500 and Rs 8,000.
