Air India Express and Akasa Air on Friday announced that they will operate special flights to Ahmedabad, providing more travel options to the city for the T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand on March 8.
“To facilitate travel for cricket fans to witness the final, the airline will operate additional flights to Ahmedabad from Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad. These flights have been scheduled in response to the surge in demand for travel to the city as fans across the country plan to attend the highly anticipated match,” Air India Express said in a report.
The airline also said it continues to closely monitor booking trends and may consider further capacity expansion based on demand.
Akasa Air will operate special direct flights between Mumbai and Ahmedabad on March 8 and 9, complementing its existing network between the two cities.
