Vijay Mallya-promoted Kingfisher Airlines plans to launch more flights on new routes in its summer schedule, beginning March besides introducing services connecting Tier-II cities in the western and southern regions.

"We will increase the number of flights on our trunk routes like Mumbai-Delhi, Mumbai-Bangalore, and Mumbai-Kolkata from March this year in our new summer schedules," Kingfisher Airlines general manager (sales) Manoj Chacko told PTI.

The airline, which has a fleet of 25 aircraft, will also fly two daily flights connecting Delhi-Chennai, he added.

Currently, Kingfisher has seven Mumbai-Delhi flights daily, to which a couple of more would be added, while the Mumbai-Bangalore sector, which currently has five services daily, will be increased to six, he said.

The airline was also looking to start services from Mumbai to Baroda, Jamnagar, Bhuj, Indore and Nagpur.

It will also start services on the Bangalore-Lakshwadeep, Chennai-Madurai, Chennai-Trichy and Chennai-Coimbatore routes, thereby connecting all important cities around Chennai, said Chacko.

The summer schedule begins on March 26 and will continue till October. The airline had already filed this new schedule with the Slot Committee for approval and expects to get it very soon, Chacko said.
