00:00For us, we consider Gwati as one of our very important links to the wider world.
00:12And also, Gwati is situated which can serve the markets of all the north eastern states of India, and is
00:24very near Bhutan.
00:25So, for us, it makes sense that we try as a responsible neighbor, we try to grow together the growth
00:40of Bhutan, the growth of Assam, and aligned.
00:44And that's why we see the possibility of linking Bhutan, Gwati, and the wider southeast Asian region such as Bangkok
00:57and Singapore.
00:58A319, Airbus A319, and Airbus A320. The capacities of A319 is about 118, and for A320 is 114.
01:12The ticket range will vary according to whether you are flying business class or economy.
01:22The ticket range is somewhere, so I think I'll give you the figure later. I just can't keep the figure
01:28in my mind.
01:29But it will be quite competitive. What I foresee is that today, many people from Assam and north east states,
01:40if they want to go to Bangkok or Singapore, either they have to fly to Kolkata, or some other big
01:47cities like Delhi,
01:48and then get a connectivity. We are trying to provide the connectivity to these places from Gwati itself,
02:01so that you don't have to go to, fly to another state. And also that the government of Thailand is
02:09giving visa on arrival to Indians.
02:11So you no longer need to go to Kolkata to get your visa. So it will be very convenient and
02:17time-saving and money-saving,
02:19if you have the flight directly from Gwati to both Bangkok. The service to Bangkok will be twice in a
02:29week.
02:30And to Singapore, we already have two times flight in a week. Now it will be increased to three times
02:36in a week.
02:37So as more passengers, if there are more requirements, then we can increase the frequency.
02:44Duke Air is guided by 3S. We say 3S in our guiding philosophy of the airline Duke Air.
02:53The 3S is, number one is safety, security and services. So this 3S is our guiding principle.
03:01And for us, the most important part is safety. We ensure that we have very high level of operational excellence,
03:12and also ensure that we don't compromise any safety issues or cut corners to save money, to be more economical.
03:24For us, safety is the number one. In our last 43 years of operation, we didn't have any incision,
03:33though in spite of operating in one of the most challenging airports in the world.
03:39Paro International Airport is among the 10 most difficult and challenging airports.
03:47But for the last 43 years, our safety records have been excellent.
03:51That is why we feel that we are one of the airlines for which safety will always remain the prime
03:58concern.
03:58Regarding security, safety and security comes together. For our services, we have already made a mark to the passengers
04:11who now believe that Duke's level of services is above average compared to many airlines.
04:18I do not receive that, though.
04:18I cannot receive it in the airline...
04:18... I cannot receive it.
