As of now GoAir flies to 22 domestic airports with a fleet of 21 Airbus A320 including A320neo.
Hyderabad will also be connected to Port Blair via Bangalore which will provide leisure travellers additional travel option, GoAir said in a release today.
"Hyderabad is a key market in south and central India and a significant base for business and tourism in the region. Adding Hyderabad with its ideal geographical location, we reinforce our commitments towards connectivity across the country," GoAir Chief Executive Officer Wolfgang Prock-Schaeur said in the release.
