Doha April 7, 2008: Air India Express has announced its new timings for
Mangalore - Bahrain - Doha Sector with immediate effect from April 8, 2008.
As per the new timings, the flight will take off from Mangalore airport at 3
pm (Indian Time) and will reach Bahrain at 4.30 pm (Bahrain time). From Bahrain
it will take off at 5.20 pm and will reach Doha at 6.05 pm (Doha time).
Doha - Bahrain - Mangalore:
While flying from Doha, the national carrier will take off from Doha
International Airport at early hours at 5.55 am and will reach Bahrain at
6.40am. From Bahrain the flight will depart at 7.30 am and will reach
Mangalore at 2.10 pm in the afternoon.
There will be no changes in the weekly days. The flight will fly as usual on
Thursday, Tuesday and Saturday, but Doha Passengers will no more have amenities
to fly directly from Doha to Mangalore. In both ways they have to fly via
Bahrain in future. The passengers will remain on board, and there will be no
change in the aircraft.
While speaking to Team Mangalorean, Ms. Mehjabeen Mukhtiar clarified that
they had to change the timings due to operational reasons. She further added
that the new timings will be effective throughout the summer up to 25th October
2008.
When asked why Air India Express has been known for its constant flight
delays, Ms. Mukhtiar said that such delays will be greatly minimized in future,
as newly purchased aircrafts have now joined the fleet. She also assured that
technical delays will be minimized.
Ms. Mukhtiar has appealed to all the Coastal Karnataka Expatriate Community
members and the adjacent districts of Kerala State to utilize the amenities of
the national carrier and to increase the traffic on this route.
The new timings have become more convenient to the passengers on both ways
provided Air India Express maintains its timing as scheduled. Passengers will
hopefully have no more hassles to reach their final destination.
