Druk
Air to fly to Gaya (India)

Bhutanese
pilgrims who want to avoid the hassles of a road or train journey to Bodhgaya,
India, now have the option of flying there. Druk air will fly to Gaya once
a week starting November 11, 2003. Druk Air is introducing a direct flight
from Paro to Gaya, about seven kilometres from Bodhgaya, starting November
11 coinciding with the birth anniversary of His Majesty the King. Bodhgaya
is one of the holiest sites for buddhists all over the world.
The
one hour ten minute flight will operate once a week at a discounted round
fare rate of Nu 5,348 a person."If the number of people flying to Bodhgaya
picks up we might increase the flight schedule to twice a week," said Druk
Air's general manager (commercial). "We will then fly on Tuesdays and Fridays."
The Nu 5,348 airfare was a promotional fare to attract customers during
the winter months from November to mid-February. "We are targeting government
employees and businessmen who have limited time to visit Bodhgaya," Druk
Air said. Bus or train journeys take between two to three days from the
border town of Phuentsholing to Bodhgaya. More than 30,000 to 40,000 people
travel to Bodhgaya every year.
