Hope you are enjoying the Air India Express tail art series. I am in London right now and will be back in Bangalore just in time to celebrate Christmas.

After a long wait, Qatar Airways has officially announced the start of services to Bangalore. The Doha based carrier will commence daily services using a narrow body Airbus A320 aircraft from early February. Exact launch date and schedules are awaited.
