India’s fastest-growing regional airline, flybig, a part of Big Charter Private Limited (BCPL), today announced an increase in flight frequency between Sahnewal Airport and Ghaziabad. Starting today, flights will operate five days a week, a step up from the previous four-day schedule. In addition, the airline is extending its popular base fare offer of INR 999 until Diwali, ensuring greater affordability and convenience for travelers during the festive season.

More Flights, More Convenience

Under the new schedule, flights will depart from Ghaziabad at 10:00 AM, arriving at Ludhiana Sahnewal Airport at 11:30 AM. The return flight will leave Ludhiana at 12:00 PM and reach Ghaziabad at 1:30 PM. This adjustment is part of flybig’s ongoing commitment to meeting growing passenger demand and provide a reliable travel experience.

The base fare of INR 999, initially available for just two months, was extended for an additional month due to its popularity. Now, it will be available until Diwali, making holiday travel more accessible.

Capt. Saanjay Mandavia, CMD and Founder, flybig, said, “We are thrilled to extend our INR 999 base fare until Diwali. This extension reflects our commitment to providing value to our passengers, especially during a busy travel season. We understand the importance of affordable travel options, and we hope this initiative makes it easier for people to connect with their loved ones during the festivities.”

Meeting Festive Demand

With Diwali approaching and train bookings already at capacity, flybig's expanded service offers a much-needed travel alternative. The increased frequency is a direct response to customer feedback and the consistently full bookings on the Ludhiana-Ghaziabad route.

Initially, the airline planned to reduce flights to two days a week after winter, but due to customer feedback, the schedule was increased to four days a week in April and is now enhanced to five days a week.

In light of the growing demand and the positive reception of the extended fare offer, flybig is also exploring further enhancements to their service. The airline is evaluating the potential for additional routes and increased capacity to better serve passengers throughout the year.
