Go Air increases Bangalore flights.
GoAir recently inducted it’s eighth Airbus A320-214, most likely VT-WAK. (Despite follow up the airline’s media partner could not give me the information.)
After a complete withdrawal from Bangalore, GoAir has re-focussed on Bangalore with two new connections to Mumbai and New Delhi, taking the airline’s total number of weekly flights to 377.
With the addition of the new connections the airline will now have four flights between Bangalore and Delhi, two flights from Bangalore to Mumbai and three flights from Mumbai to Bangalore.
GoAir has also introduced new flight timings for the Ahmedabad, Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore sectors. Full details are on the GoAir website.
Kingfisher delays release of financial results
Adding fuel to the ongoing fire of speculation, Kingfisher Airlines released this press statement.
“The Kingfisher Board met as scheduled today in Mumbai. However, the consideration of the audited financial statements for the year ended 31-Mar-2009 has been deferred since the Audit Committee meeting for consideration of the audited annual financial results, could not be held as the quorum requisite was not present with the Audit Committee Chairman who met with an unfortunate injury resulting in a fractured leg, also unable to attend.
The Audit Committee and Board Meetings for consideration of the audited annual financial results will be held at the earliest possible opportunity.”
Kingfisher is one of the three publicly listed airlines and therefore was to have released it’s financials on or before June 30th. The other two airlines Jet Airways and SpiceJet have released their results.
