This will take the total number of flights being operated by the carrier to 1,850 per month, a source said.

“We are adding 200 flights in our network in the summer schedule. This translates into an over 10 per cent capacity addition,” the source told PTI here.

Presently, GoAir operates 1,650 flights a month.

The airline also plans to add two new destinations from April 6 -- Nagpur and Nanded in Maharashtra -- as both these cities offer a good business potential, the source said.

“On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the service will operate between Delhi-Nagpur-Nanded-Mumbai. On the rest of the days, the service will be between Delhi-Nagpur-Mumbai,” the source said.
