Question : RESCHEDULING FLIGHTS ON MUMBAI-BHAVNAGAR-MUMBAI



(a) whether the Indian Airlines is going to reschedule the flight timing of Mumbai-Bhavnagar-Mumbai, particularly in the morning; and

(b) if so, whether it will be a direct flight or hopping one?

Answer given by the minister

THE MINISTER OF CIVIL AVIATION (SHRI SHARAD YADAV)

(a) and (b): Due to low seat factor and lean season, the flight operating on the sector Mumbai-Bhavnagar-Mumbai has been restructured to operate as Mumbai-Bhavnagar-Jamnagar-Mumbai four times a week with B-737 aircraft from 1st July till 30th September, 2001.


Due to commitment of aircraft operating this service at Mumbai in the early morning hours, it is not feasible for Indian Airlines to operate the service to Bhavnagar in the morning.
