Why such horrible timings? Is it meant to connect to some international flight in Chennai? _________________ I don't know which is the more pampered bunch : AI's widebodies (the aunties) or Jet's widebodies (the planes).

Looks like pure utilization flying. The return flight would be total dud.
I think MAA is known as a city which sleeps early... and returning that late is not something which is preferred in any city ! |

At the right prices, any flight will fill up, so that's probably what G8's aiming for.... _________________ We miss you Nalini! |

It appears that BOM will now have a 1 stop direct flight to Port Blair. Although on the return a 2 hour layover is quite long. Many airlines have 1 stop from DEL to IXZ and Jet has from HYD to IXZ via MAA. |

I get it now. It is the same a/c that departs MAA for BOM at 05:20. The only way to place it in MAA is to bring it back from PNQ at that odd hour. _________________ I don't know which is the more pampered bunch : AI's widebodies (the aunties) or Jet's widebodies (the planes).

There is already an existing thread on the exact same topic, as if GoAir was so big that we need a separate thread to discuss their Chennai launch, and then open another thread to copy paste airlineroute info on the three Chennai flights of GoAir.

No need to get pissy.
While I agree that another thread about Chennai did not need to be opened, where do you suppose GoAir news should be posted? Is there a GoAir News thread somewhere like with some other airlines? |

Also, can we request the mods to please consolidate the threads and let us keep airlines grouped together. |
1. I don't have the ability to consolidate threads, but can lock the older ones after adding a pointer to the new Go Air News thread. LMK if that would work?
2. From what I recall, the mods have neither opened nor mandated the "Airline thread", it's just that airlines like AI/ 9W/ IT have so much activity, that their threads were probably opened by members and stuck. As a member has already opened up a GoAir thread, would encourage other members to post into that thread. _________________ We miss you Nalini! |
