Mysuru: Flight services to Mysuru have been suspended on the grounds that the services are not commercially viable.
Kingfisher was the first to fly to Mysuru after the new airport was inaugurated in 2010, and it suspended operations after one year before going bust. SpiceJet stepped in and offered its services intermittently before suspending operations. Alliance Air was the third service provider operating to Mysuru.
Though the suspension is attributed to lack of patronage, figures available from the Mysuru Airport indicates that passenger patronage was increasing. For November 19, 20 passengers had booked their seats in a airplane carrying 42 passengers, and there could have been more last-minute bookings.
