As Diwali draws near, the demand for air travel is soaring.
Flights from Gwalior are almost completely booked, making it difficult for travelers to find seats.
To help ease the rush, Air India has announced special additional flights between Gwalior and Bengaluru from October 17 to 19.
These temporary flights will make travel smoother for passengers heading to or from Bengaluru during the festive season.
Currently, Gwalior has regular flights to Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru — and this new service will add much-needed convenience for festive travelers.
Flight Schedule and Details
Bengaluru to Gwalior:
Departure – 6:30 AM
Arrival – 9:10 AM
Gwalior to Bengaluru:
Departure – 9:45 AM
Arrival – 12:45 PM
This short-term addition is expected to increase passenger movement and reduce last-minute booking hassles.
