Our Correspondent, New Delhi
Dhaka is one of the three international destinations India's leading private carrier Air Sahara has decided to connect this winter.Air Sahara flight will connect Kolkata with Dhaka from November this year, the airline's President Alok Sharma said. The other two foreign destinations Air Sahara are Male and Chinese city Guangzhaou, he said. "We have applied for regulatory clearances for the three new international destinations. We don't foresee any issue in this because the airline is permitted access to these places under current bilateral agreements," Sharma said. This is the first major expansion plan unveiled by Air Sahara since its proposed buyout by its larger rival Jet Airways failed to take off after months of negotiations. "We had already made the financial commitment for a major expansion last year. Under this plan, we are going to induct Boeing 737-800 planes," Sharma said. He hopes with this plan Air Sahar will be able to regain its market share of 12 percent which has dropped to a little more than seven percent at present. The three new international destinations are among the 14 Air Sahara is going to introduce from November.
