Pondy back on aviation map


After a gap of 20 years, the Union territory of Puducherry was once again put on the aviation map when SpiceJet launched direct flight services between Puducherry and Bangalore.
The private airline will also operate services to Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Hyderabad via Bangalore.
The service between Bangalore and Puducherry will be available thrice a week — on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. As per the regular schedule, the flight will take off from Bangalore at 12.20 pm on all the 3 days and land at Puducherry at 1.10 pm and during its return trip, it will leave Puducherry at 1.30 pm and reach Bangalore at 2.20 pm. Earlier, Vayudoot, an erstwhile joint-venture between Indian Airlines and Air India, operated flights connecting Chennai and Puducherry from 1990 to 1992.
