Buddha Air is starting its flight to Indian city of Lucknow from January 7. It will be the airline's second international destination after Paro, Bhutan.
The airline will fly Lucknow three times a week on Sundays, Wednesdays and Friday with 47-seater ATR-42 aircraft. But the airline will use 72-seater ATR aircraft depending on the demand. It has fixed Rs 5,600 (excluding tax) as the one way fare.
Buddha Air is also planning to introduce flights to other Indian cities like Guwahati, Kolkata, Patna, Varansi, Gorakhpur and Deharadun in the near future.
The revised Air Service Agreement (ASA) with INdia allows private carriers of both the countries to start cross-border flights to make air travel cheaper.
