Bangalore airport delay stalls Dragonair
HONG KONG – Dragonair has rescheduled the launch of its new service to Bangalore with the first flight now operating on May 24 instead of the original launch date of May 1.
The rescheduling is the result of an Indian Civil Aviation Ministry decision to postpone the opening of the new Bengaluru (Bangalore) International Airport until May 10-11.
Alternative arrangements are now being made for customers who made bookings on Dragonair’s flights to and from Bangalore before May 24.
The Bengaluru (Bangalore) launch marks the first Dragonair flights to India.
The daily service will be operated by an A330-300 aircraft.
