To meet the surging demand for air travel on these routes, flybig will increase its service frequency from two to four flights per week, providing passengers with enhanced accessibility and convenience.
The decision to increase flight frequency underscores flybig’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of travellers and facilitating seamless regional connectivity between key cities. flybig aims to provide passengers with greater flexibility in their travel plans, by offering more flights each week. Increased and affordable regional connectivity align perfectly with Prime Minister Modi’s vision for inclusive growth and economic empowerment across the nation.

flybig is offering competitive fares for its increased flight frequency between Bathinda, Ghaziabad, and Ludhiana, with an average fare of INR 999 before taxes. flybig’s DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft, equipped with 19 seats, will be operating on these routes. This new connectivity is a boon for both leisure as well as business travellers.
The airline recently announced an INR 99* airfare scheme for travellers across all routes from Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, which has been extended for May. flybig currently operates flights on 11 routes, including destinations such as Pantnagar, Azamgarh and Shravasti.
flybig foresees significant growth in passenger numbers over the next 2-3 years and plans to expand its operations to accommodate the increasing demand. The expansion of regional connectivity across India represents a significant opportunity for socio-economic development.
