Vadodara Mayor writes to Minister over flight resumption

Vadodara: BJP Member of Parliament and city Mayor Balkrishna Shukla has written a letter reminding Union Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel about his assurance to resume Air India's evening Mumbai-Vadodara flight, which was suspended in November last year.
Talking to PTI here today, Shukla said during his February visit to the city in connection with the laying of foundation stone for Rs 130-crore terminal building at the airport, Patel had promised to resume this flight.
The Minister had also promised to retain the air India's office premises located in posh Fatehgunj locality, he said.
The national carrier already has its office on Vasna Road here and wanted to close down the Fatehgunj facility.
