Airlines Announce New Flights To Hong Kong: Schedule, Fares and Other Details
Airlines in the country have come up with a host of new domestic and international routes. The new flights come amid high competition in the country's civil aviation market, where carriers are also offering discounts and cashbacks to attract passengers. Earlier this week, IndiGo, the country's largest airline by market share, announced Hong Kong as its fifteenth international destination. IndiGo said it would operate its daily direct flight between Hong Kong and Bengaluru, with effect from December 11, 2018. Last month, SpiceJet had announced a daily non-stop flight between Delhi and Hong Kong.
