Kongu Global Forum Requests for Air India Express Services in Coimbatore

SimpliCity News Team · 21 Feb 2024

Coimbatore: In an official communication to Air India Express, Kongu Global Forum has made a compelling case for the airline to resume its services at Coimbatore Airport, emphasizing the airport's high traffic and strategic significance. The letter, dated 19th February 2024, highlights Coimbatore's status as the second busiest airport in Tamil Nadu and its rapid recovery post-Covid, alongside presenting detailed air traffic statistics to underscore the demand for Air India Express's services.

The request also points out the reduction in flight operations by other carriers, particularly Indigo, due to aircraft shortages, which has impacted the connectivity of Coimbatore with major cities like Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. Kongu Global Forum suggests that Air India Express could fill this gap by resuming operations, initially focusing on these crucial sectors before expanding to other domestic and international destinations.

The forum also assures its support in promoting Air India Express across various platforms and stakeholders in the region, highlighting the economic potential of Western Tamil Nadu's catchment area, which includes nine districts and a substantial export volume. The initiative is seen as a significant step towards enhancing the region's connectivity and supporting its economic development.
