NEW AIR SERVICE IN DURGAPUR

AirCar, the low-cost charter airline, will soon connect state capital Calcutta with nearby industrial hub using 9-14 seater planes.Their studies indicates that there is immense potential for routes such as Calcutta-Durgapur if the price can be kept low.There are enough senior executives and owners of small firms to fill up a small aircraft. They save time and at affordable prices switch to planes from trains and roadways.Tickets will be sold on these flights through portals.The state will offer airstrips, assistance in handling and security services at the smaller towns, besides providing a captive clientele to AirCar in the form of government officials and ministers.We would use economical aircraft, which do not guzzle huge amounts of jet fuel, and with low landing and other charges, we can keep overheads down.AirCar is keen on tapping what, it feels, can be an excellent market such as Calcutta-Durgapur, having huge potential.
