FLY91, a pure-play regional airline headquartered in Goa, has increased the frequency of its Sindhudurg-Pune-Sindhudurg flights from twice a week to five times a week. This follows encouraging footfall on the route and ahead of the upcoming summer vacation.
This expansion underscores the airline’s commitment to enhancing regional connectivity and fostering economic growth through improved accessibility to underserved destinations. The increased frequency is expected to significantly boost tourism and business travel in Maharashtra and comes ahead of the summer vacation, which witnesses a spike in holiday travel.
Manoj Chacko, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of FLY91, stated, “Strengthening regional connectivity is at the heart of FLY91’s mission. Increasing the frequency of our Sindhudurg-Pune service reflects our commitment to making travel easier and more accessible. We are optimistic that this enhanced schedule will encourage more travellers to explore Sindhudurg while supporting local businesses. At the same time, residents of Sindhudurg will find it easier to access a key city in Maharashtra. Our long-term vision includes daily flights on this route, subject to demand and infrastructure availability.”
“The increase in frequency of FLY91 flights on the Sindhudurg-Pune-Sindhudurg route will provide easy access for residents to travel to an urban hub of trade, service and culture like Pune, while at the same time, help attract more tourists from Pune and nearby areas to an emerging coastal tourism destination like Sindhudurg,” said Capt. Jai Singh Sadana serves as the Chief Adviser and Head of Sindhudurg Airport, a domestic airport developed by IRB Infrastructure Developers Limited.
The Chipi airport in south Maharashtra is equipped with modern amenities to handle aircraft up to the A320/B737 family and a terminal capacity of two million passengers per year. It enhances connectivity to the state’s Konkan region and surrounding areas.
