 Posted: Tue Dec 25, 2012 11:54 pm Post subject: Is Indigo axing Bom-Bkk from Mar 2013? |
 |
|
First I would like to Wish You All A Merry Christmas.
This afternoon I tried to book a ticket going out 14th Jan 13 and return 01st May 13 for Bom-Bkk-Bom on Indigo.
It shows no flights for Bkk-Bom sector after 28th Feb 13 . Where as Bkk-Del is available for purchase for dates uptil 30th Sep 13.
So whats happening with Indigo? Couldn't they make Bom-Bkk work? Or is it a schedule not uploaded thing.

Merry Christmas to you too sir!
I did a similar check, SIN-BOM, in July 2013, but they didn't show any flights. A few days later, it was confirmed that 6E are indeed, axing that flight.
I feel its the same in this case as well, but I may be wrong.
Regards
Jishnu

Oops - that's true - the post I was referencing was on BOM-SIN instead of BOM-BKK!

While I'm not shocked, but I'm surprised that they are withdrawing BOM - BKK. One can make sense in pulling out SIN, but BOM - BKK is strange.
However, it would be interesting to know how the ac performs on this route. Drawing parallels with NASair where they couldn't sustain a CCJ/COK - RUH due to payload restrictions, the details of performance can give a better picture. |

320s even in dense config should not have any problem doing this route, BKK Air flies the same aircraft on the route , AI flies the 321s, and our Red Girl Kingfisher used to fly it with 320s as well

Regarding IT, the single class A320s went on load restriction.
Regarding PG they have 162 seats on their A320s against 180 on 6E. Would that make any difference? Plus PG loads are not that stellar on this route. |

Does PG operate A319 ?
None the less, the seating config and the weight of seats would make a difference |

Looking at the Airbus Chart on the 320 with IAE engines,and BOM-BKK being a 1688 NM route, some points
Assuming 6E have the lower weight 320, i.e 73.5tn
The max payload is 18.5 tns with 150 pax in dual class is 1600 nm,
6E have single class 180 pax ,
so they will certainly take some hit, but i dont see it being an uneconomical hit,
Like wise the 737-800s would carry around 13 tns [150 pax and 1600 nm],
Ofcourse these manufacture charts are for ideal scenarios, i would like our resident experts to shed some light on this

Karan,
I believe IT primarily had the A319s on the BOM-BKK sector. I have flown to and fro in VT-KFI on this sector.
Rgds,
Pats
