A-I to launch new flights to New Jersey on Dec 3

Air-India would launch new flights to New Jersey starting December 3 as part of a major growth programme.

"We will also recommence flights to Frankfurt from December 8," an Air-India spokesman said in Kolkata.

The carrier has embarked on a major growth programme in the aftermath of registering a profit of Rs 15.44 crore (Rs 154 million) during the last fiscal after a gap of six years, he said.

The turnaround, the spokesman said, was ensured by the support extended to it by the people who not only ensured successful commercial operations, but also enabled it to overcome problems even in adverse environments.

The encouraging performance was more important especially in the aftermath of September 11 which left several major international airlines either bankrupt or with curtailed operations, he said.
