GoAir’s CEO, Giorgio De Roni, said on Wednesday that the airline’s occupancy on the Pune-Bengaluru route, which connects the two IT hubs of the country, has been close to 80% in the last six months, prompting them to double the frequency.

Addressing the media, Roni said, “We have witnessed tremendous growth in the number of passengers from Pune, therefore it was essential to add one flight to an existing destination and connect a new destination. GoAir now operates to seven different destinations from Pune.”
