Port Blair: To fulfill the demand of the Islanders, the Administration has announced that a chartered flight in Kolkata –Port Blair-Kolkata sector will be operated every Thursday from the 25th of February, 2016. As per the schedule, Air India will operate weekly one charter flight with a 144- seater Airbus during night hours. The Air India flight AI 3707 will depart from Kolkata at 9 p.m. and reach Port Blair at 11 p.m. On its return, the flight will depart from Port Blair at 11.40 p.m. to reach Kolkata at 01.40 a.m.
The initiative is appreciated by many, but the people of Bambooflat, Dundaspoint and the adjacent areas are quite worried. The flight will depart from Port Blair airport at 11.40 p.m. but there is no DSS boat facility available from Bambooflat after 9.30 p. m. and the last boat which leaves from Chatham is at 9.40 p.m. Also, the local passengers coming from Kolkata will have to wait at the airport or at Chatham even after reaching Port Blair.
Some people from Kolkata who live in Bambooflat said, “The chartered flight facility is very much appreciated but what bothers us is the boat timing. We have to start early from home and wait for hours in the airport as there is no boat facility available after 9.30 p.m. from Bambooflat.
