Commercial flight operations from Mysuru airport is set to resume once again.
Sources told The Hindu that the flight take off could be “within the next few days” and the route pitched is Mysuru-Bengaluru-Tirupati sector. Later, other sectors could be considered.
This is a result of the new regional air connectivity policy (UDAN – Ude Desh Ki Aam Nagarik ) of the Government of India under viability gap funding, with incentives or subsidies to flight operators.
“Flights are definitely on the cards and proposals have been submitted by flight operators to the government under UDAN scheme, and is awaiting clearance. There could be other routes too and the details are awaited,” sources added.
Mysuru airport figures in the priority list of 52 cities identified for promoting regional air connectivity in view of its tourism potential, besides projected economic growth and population to sustain air travel.
The city attracts nearly 3.5 million tourists a year and its promotion under regional air connectivity may give a push to the sector which has been stagnating of late.
