MUMBAI, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- Indian state-owned Air India recently announced the launch of red-eye flights to some domestic destinations, starting from the end of November, local media quoted official sources as saying.
A red-eye flight departs generally late at night and arrives early in the morning. Because of low fares, red-eye flights are quite popular in many countries.
Air India will introduce red-eye flights with fares lower than the normal ones in domestic locations like Delhi-Goa-Delhi, Delhi-Coimbatore-Delhi and Bangalore-Ahmedabad-Bangalore from November, the Indian Express report said.
Air India operates a fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft serving 94 domestic and international destinations. It commenced its operation in 1946.
The newly introduced red-eye flights will reportedly help travellers beat peak hours of city traffic as well as save on hotel charges and statements.
