Takhar Travel, a travel agent with a long history within the Indian market have now commenced a new twice weekly charter service from Birmingham to Amritsar. Comtel Air (the latest airline for the travel agent) started flights on the 1st October 2011 and like before (with Air Sylhet/Akal Air) operates via Vienna due to Indian traffic rights. Comtel Air will initially be using a Privilege Style Boeing 757-200 during the month of October before being handed over to Mint Airways from November who will also be using a 757-200.
Initial bookings have been very good with a load factor just under 90%, clearly benefiting from the withdrawal of the Mahan Air service. As a result, Comtel Air are already planning a 3rd weekly service on a Friday. The airline will also pick up and drop off passengers in Vienna. View the new schedules below...
Comtel Air schedules:
COE731/732 Arr 17:15 - Dep 18:40 - Saturday & Sunday .
