New Delhi, May 13: Jet Airways will introduce a daily direct flight between Chennai and Pune from May 15.
It already operates daily services from Chennai to Pune via Bangalore.

''Passenger traffic on the Chennai-Pune sector has been growing at a fast speed, and the launch of a daily direct flight between the two cities, in addition to our pre-existing service on this route, is an attempt to cater to this increasing passenger demand.
''We expect this service to prove particularly popular with business travellers as it gives Jet Airways passengers the convenience of enhanced flexibility,'' he said.
