The Hindu that the airline was planning to operate an Embraer 190 aircraft with 110 seats. Indications are that the services would be operated in the afternoon in both directions.

The meeting comes at a time when the demand for increasing domestic connectivity from the fast growing Tiruchi airport to different key destinations was on the rise. At present, there is only one domestic service from Tiruchi with the Jet Airways operating flights from Chennai to Tiruchi and back.
