Flights were started for here a few months ago

From December 15, the airline has introduced an additional daily flight on this route, providing twice a day connectivity between Kolkata and Sri Vijayapuram. Air India Group completed the merger of AIX Connect with Air India Express last year. The merged entity is expected to have a fleet of 100 aircraft by the end of March next year. The entity operates under the name Air India Express and airline code IX.
