March 22, 2008 - Dragonair today announced that it will reschedule the launch of its new daily service from Bengaluru (Bangalore) to Hong Kong. The original launch date was slated for May 1, the first flight will now operate on May 24 instead. The rescheduling is a result of a decision taken by the Indian Civil Aviation Ministry to postpone the opening of the new Bengaluru International Airport until May 10/11.
Alternative arrangements are now being made for customers who made bookings on Dragonair’s flights to and from Hong Kong before May 24, helping to ensure, they get to their destination with minimum inconvenience.
The Bengaluru launch marks the first time for Dragonair to operate flights from India. Dragonair will offer daily flights operated by an A330-300 aircraft opening opportunities for people travelling between the thriving southern region of India and Hong Kong, catering to the vast segment of Indian travelers.
