Belgaum to Bangalore Air timings changed: Fly Kingfisher

12:02 PM Posted by ukmad

The flight timings from Belgaum to Bangalore for the Kingfisher Red have been changed. Now there are daily flights to Bangalore.

I checked upto this month and this is the new timetable for the flights. Mumbai flights still no clue when they will resume.

The current timings are strange and not easy to remember.
Timings change every alternate day. See the image for complete details.

The schedules page on the http://www.flykingfisher.com/ is not working, hence I had to collect this info by trying to book a ticket.No other newspaper nor website is giving this info, Some info on this blog is the FIRST.

Belgaum Air travelers face more tribulations: Fly to Bangalore only for 4 days in week

After the closure of the AirDeccan Belgaum Mumbai Flight now the Kingfisher (earlier Air Deccan) Belgaum Bangalore flight, which was on a daily basis, will now fly on all days except Tuesdays.

Infact when I searched the http://www.flykingfisher.com website, to my surprise I got two different schedules. One in which there are flights on 6 days and one in which flights are there for 4 days.
http://www.flykingfisher.com/schedule.asp?tab=2 SEE view schedules it will show flight for 4 days; Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday.

On the same page when it opens, click the Excel Format on the top Right of the current frame and an Excel format file opens in which the flight is for 6 days.
The same website but offers two different timetables.

This is effective from 19-Nov-08 to 28-Mar-09. So, all those fliers need to re look at things if you had planned otherwise. In this very blog today only, I had quoted our CM BSY saying that the Belgaum Airport expansion was going on in full swing and I have to write in this, which is very bad. You are expanding the airport for what cars or busses to move.

I checked out booking a ticket and the 4-day schedule is correct I guess.
So this means the KF flight to Bangalore is now on for only 4 days; Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday.
Why are they doing it to us? Again, reason unknown may be they say load factor, may what it be but Belgaumites are here to suffer.

Belgaum- Mumbai flight may commence

11:31 AM Posted by ukmad

Indian Airlines officials had a test flight at the Sambra airport to find out the feasibility of a Belgaum-Mumbai flight.

Now, only one Kingfisher Red flies from here to Bangalore. Deccan Air closed the Mumbai flight in March 2008.

The Belgaum chambers have been demanding the Mumbai Belgaum flight since its closure but no is here to heed to their requests. Now it seems Praful Patel, minister of Aviation whose visit is planned to Belgaum might make an announcement in this regard.

Air Deccan stops Belgaum Mumbai Flights:Mumbai Hubli Also stopped

10:57 AM Posted by ukmad



Air Deccan has stopped its Belgaum - Mumbai & Mumbai- Hubli flights since the past month. I have contacted the authorities to know the exact reason of this closure of this route but I have not received a reply yet. Unofficially sources said that the route has been cancelled due to lack of traffic.

There was only one flight by which we were connected to Mumbai now that is also not there. For Hubli there is Kingfisher airlines which flies to Mumbai and hence might be the Hubli Mumbai Deccan flight might have been cancelled. But what about Belgaum, nor do we have Kingfisher no Deccan now. If we have to go by air to Mumabi we will have to go to Hubl or Kolhapur and take a flight.

Why does this happen only to Belgaum?
