Just before the festival of Deepawali, Air India gave a gift of flight to Aurangabad. The AI flight Mumbai-Aurangabad-Udaipur commenced operations from 27th September. Air Bus 320 will be operated on this route thrice a week. The days of operation as of now are Monday, Thursday and Saturday.

The Air India flight leaves Mumbai at 12:30 p.m. and reach Aurangabad at 1:40 p.m, from here it leaves at 2:10 p.m. for Udaipur and then leave Udaipur for Aurangabad at 4 p.m. The same flight then leaves for Mumbai at 5:40 p.m.
The flight to Aurangabad from Udaipur had stopped in 1998 and this proved to be a loss for both the cities. Tourism suffered on this sector. Kingfisher had also started a flight for Aurangabad but the project did not prove to be successful. Now that there will be flights from Udaipur to Aurangabad, there are all the probabilities that tourism will see new dimensions as the beautiful caves attract people from everywhere.
