Hi all, There seems to be some misunderstanding here...There was never been an IA flight to Goa on this sector (Dubai-Goa) So the restarting thing does not arise. It ought to be a new route for IA. But if you would logon to AirIndia Express site and select Dubai in the From column you will find the To sector showing Goa, but nothings been confirmed other than that. A call to the local office will yield no result, these guys seem to be in the dark.
The DXB-CMB-GOI sector is not bad, considering the transit of 45 min. and baggage arrival at Goa, (other than the long travelling hrs.) far better than hoping from International to Domestic in Mumbai and paying for the extra luggage and the tiring work, if along with kids. But nothings better than a direct flight ! hAVE a nICE dAY Seb > Indian Airlines to restart UAE-Goa service Dubai: Indian Airlines has decided to resume its direct flight between UAE and Goa after Monday, four months after it stopped the services between the two destinations, a senior airline official has said. "IA will operate flights direct from Dubai to Goa from next week," Abhay Pathak, Regional Director Middle East and Africa of Indian said. Indian Airlines used to operate two direct flights to Goa in a week from Sharjah until March 30. Last December, Air India completely stopped its once-a-week Kuwait-Dubai-Goa flight. More than 50,000 Goans live in the UAE. IA operates 110 flights a week from the UAE. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/News_By_Industry/Indian_Airline s_to_restart_UAE-Goa_service/articleshow/3014621.cms ~(^^)~ Avelino
