Commenting on the achievement, Kaushik Khona, chief executive officer, GoAir, said, “It gives me immense pleasure to dedicate the first-ever night flight from Srinagar to Delhi as a salute to the spirit of Srinagar. GoAir is also strengthening the network across the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh region by enhancing their daily flights to-and-from Srinagar.”
Khona also recollected the dedication and commitment of GoAir to the development of Jammu and Kashmir.
“GoAir was the only airline to operate daily flights from Awantipur Airforce Airport during the times when the main airport was closed due to resurfacing of the runway for a pretty long time. GoAir was the only airline to provide connectivity from Srinagar to other parts of the country during those times,” he said.
The first night flight from Srinagar marks the dawn of a new era that would provide improved connectivity from several airports in India to Srinagar, Jammu, and Leh.
GoAir proposes to provide the residents of Srinagar and the tourists to Srinagar high mobility and freedom to plan their travel and provide day return connectivity to major airports like Delhi, Mumbai, and other major airports.
