More air link for Games facilities

Ranchi: The state can expect new flights by the year-end as Jharkhand Olympic Association (JOA) has initiated efforts for smooth transition of participants and officials by air and railway during the 34th National Games.
The National Games will be held at three locations — Ranchi, Jamshedpur and Dhanbad.
As of today, Ranchi is the only venue with a regular air link with Delhi.
Efforts are being made to expedite commencement of one flight from Delhi to Dhanbad via Ranchi, and another from Delhi to Jamshedpur via Ranchi. The JOA will approach Indian, Kingfisher and MDLR Airlines, JOA secretary-general S.M. Hashmi said.
He also said: “To expedite commencement of flights, a JOA delegation will soon meet civil aviation minister Praful Patel and Vijay Mallya, the chief of Kingfisher Airlines, and MDLR Airlines officials.”
