SCV to show flight and rail timings
Posted on: 12/Apr/2013 1:11:20 PM
Sumangali Cable Vision (SCV) will now have two additional channels that will show rail and flight timings. The channels are free.
An SCV official said, ‘The two channels for the service — to be named I Flight and I Rail — will be launched in about 20 days’ time and they will be free channels… As part of the test run, subscribers in some areas including Valasarawalkam, Velachery, Porur and Alwarthirunagar, have received flight information for the last one month.
‘We don’t have a tie-up with the Airport Authority of India (AAI). Instead, we have agreements with some of the websites that offer this service. This is an attempt to boost the customer base in the city… Once, both these channels go on air, viewers can receive 24-hour updates on the departures and arrivals of flights as well as trains from both Chennai Central and Egmore stations.
‘We are working out the ways for the display of rail information. The test run for this service will begin in two weeks time and eventually it will be on air. ‘
