CHENNAI: Jet Airways has announced that it will operate direct flights on Bangalore-Tiruvananthapuram-Bangalore and Chennai-Tiruvananthapuram-Chennai sectors from Wednesday.

A Jet Airways release said these flights would also give connections to passengers from Delhi and Mumbai to reach Tiruvananthapuram in the morning via Chennai or Bangalore.

In the wake of increased tourist traffic in and out of Kerala, the airline had introduced the two new links. The flights would be operated by 62-seater ATR72-500, it added.

There would be an early morning service from Pune to Bangalore and an evening service from Bangalore to Pune giving day-return facility for passengers from Pune.

The Bangalore-Mangalore-Bangalore, Bangalore-Goa-Bangalore and Bangalore-Kochi-Bangalore sectors in the South had been upgraded to operate on a Boeing 737-700 providing for more seats. The late evening Bangalore-Hyderabad-Bangalore flight operated by an ATR72-500 was the third frequency on this sector giving business travellers based in either city better options for same-day return to their destinations, the release said.
