New Delhi: Kingfisher Airlines has announced a further expansion of its route network, with the introduction of three new services and the addition of two new destinations.
The latest services connect New Delhi and Jammu with a daily direct flight in either direction.

The second new service is a daily direct flight from New Delhi to Lucknow.

Kingfisher Airlines also announced the introduction of a new daily service from Varanasi to Khajuraho, which doubles up as a new service connecting New Delhi with Khajuraho with a halt at Varanasi.

Lucknow and Khajuraho are the latest destinations on Kingfisher Airlines map, which now bring the total number of Kingfisher Airlines flights operated to 218 a day, across 37 destinations, using a fleet of 36 aircraft.

Commenting on the launch of these new routes, V Raja, global sales head for Kingfisher Airlines said, "The launch of these three new services is consistent with our goal of tapping emerging routes and offering convenient and frequent services that cater to the unmet needs of air travellers in India. Given the huge tourism potential of these cities and the importance that they occupy on the pilgrimage map of India, we see potential to develop and grow a market for these routes while simultaneously exploring virgin market segments that would typically fly on this circuit. We look forward to growing this market".

"The New Delhi-Jammu sector is a route that has a huge untapped potential and with the superlative Kingfisher experience, we hope to capture this rapidly growing market", he added.
