Akasa Air to connect Kolkata from May 18

Akasa Air on Wednesday announced the addition of Kolkata as its 17th destination, and said the private carrier will now operate “across all metro cities” in the country. The airline will connect Kolkata to Bengaluru and Guwahati with daily non-stop flights starting May 18, a company release said.

Passengers will also have the option to travel from Bengaluru to Guwahati via Kolkata with a daily through flight, and no change of aircraft is required, it said.

“With this announcement, Akasa Air will mark its operations across all metro cities in India,” the release said.

Kolkata will be Akasa Air's second destination in West Bengal after flights connecting Bagdogra to Bengaluru went on sale earlier this month.
