COVID-19 pandemic: IndiGo to operate Hyderabad-Aurangabad flight daily from Aug 19

Private carrier IndiGo has decided to operate its Hyderabad-Aurangabad flight daily from August 19, director of the city airport D G Salve said on Friday. The coronavirus-enforced lockdown in late March had led to the suspension of domestic as well as international flights and services were partially restored only in May-end.

From June 19, a flight to New Delhi from Aurangabad was made operational by IndiGo three times a week, he said. Another airline started a flight for Hyderabad from the central Maharashtra city last month which is operated four times a week, Salve said. "An Air India flight is also operating for New Delhi twice a week," the airport director told .

"There are no more confirmations from any airline about operating more flights from this month or next month. But IndiGo will operate a Hyderabad-Aurangabad-Hyderabad flight on a daily basis from August 19," Salve said.
