Pune-Kochi flight from July 1
PUNE: Malayalees living in Pune city, Ahmednagar, Aurangabad and Satara will be able to fly directly to Kochi, thanks to the announcement of the direct flight by SpiceJet.

The flight has come as a boon to about five-lakh Malayalees settled in Pune. Flight no SG 217 will depart from Pune daily at 11.15 am and arrive in Kochi at 1.10 pm. Flight no SG 212 will take off from Kochi at 2 pm and land at Pune at 3.55 pm. The Keralite community in Pune is happy about the introduction of air connectivity between Pune and their native place on the eve of Onam. Being a major tourist destination, this direct flight will also help those people visiting Kerala for holidays.
