Air Sahara on Monday said it would launch a non-stop service between Delhi and Chicago in agreement with a global carrier and another to London by September-October this year.
"We plan to launch the London service by September-October this year and are negotiating on leasing aircraft for these operations," airline CEO Ronojoy Dutta told reporters in New Delhi.
Asked about their non-stop flight to Chicago, Dutta said the airline was likely to launch it this winter and was in talks with some global carriers for a 'joint marketing agreement to share costs and revenue' for this purpose. He, however, refused to name the airlines the talks were being held with.
He also announced the launch of its services to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur from May 11 and June 15, respectively, claiming the airline was offering 'real good service, low fares and good flight schedule.'
While the lowest introductory return fare of Rs 10,000 to Singapore had already been booked, the same fare for Kuala Lumpur was still available, Dutta said.
Air Sahara was still offering the lowest return fare of Rs 13,000 on the Delhi-Singapore route and a three-day holiday package at Rs 17,200 per person for the city state, he said.
The airline is also working on inter-line agreement with at least six foreign carriers including Air New Zealand, Garuda, Thai, ValueAir and Philippine Airlines, for through check-in and coordinated schedules for onward journey, he said.
