Air India Express flights to Sharjah from Varanasi

Lucknow: Air India Express (AIE) announced on Wednesday its plan to add Varanasi to its route network from August with direct flight service to Sharjah to cater to flyers in and around the temple city.

AIE, which is the international budget arm of the national carrier Air India, would also roll out special discounted fares on the new route, the airline's chief executive officer K Shyam Sunder said in a release.

The non-stop flight, to be introduced from August 17, would operate thrice a week, using a 186-seater Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The Kochi-headquartered airline currently operates 175 weekly flights, connecting 11 domestic airports, besides 12 destinations across the Middle East and South East Asia.

"The flight will operate on Monday, Thursday and Saturdays, fulfilling a long-standing need of passengers in and around Varanasi," said Shyam Sundar.
