Air India to consider Guwahati-Bangkok direct flight: Lohani

Ashwani Lohani, Chairman and Managing Director, Air India, informed that while some sectors were not profitable in the North East, overall, operations remained gainful as they got a viability gap funding from North Eastern Council (NEC). He also said that Air India is considering operating a direct flight between Guwahati and Bangkok or between Guwahati and Kunming, thrice a week. Air India has a market share of 17 per cent in the North East, which seemingly is a profitable sector for the airline.
