Summary:
Coimbatore: Jet Airways has decided to suspend seven daily flight services from Coimbatore to Bengaluru and Chennai from July 1. Besides affecting the connectivity between Chennai and Coimbatore, it would also lead to hike in fares. “Imagine a traveller who flew 8.5 hours to reach Chennai from Europe, but then having to wait another six to seven hours for a flight to reach Coimbatore,” said Sam. So, a Coimbatore to Chennai or Bangalore ticket will now cost as much as a Coimbatore to Delhi or Mumbai ticket,” said the chairman of CII, Coimbatore zone, M Ramesh. Now, they have to leave a day earlier,” he said.Industrialists expect overseas travellers flying in and out of the city to be affected too..
