Changed flight timings from Nov 1 at Kanpur

Kanpur: The winter timings for the 48-seater daily flight operational between Kanpur and Delhi domestic terminal are likely to be changed from November 1 onwards. Thus, the flights in winters would probably be re-scheduled an hour or two in advance of the current flight timings, claimed the airport authority.
And if the airport officials and last year's response of the rescheduled flights is anything to go by, the change in the flight schedules may draw more passengers in winters in comparison to summers.
"The change in flight timings for winters would be brought as a part of routine from November 1. Although, the new schedule has not been finalised, but there won't be any significant change from the existing timings," said Rajesh Sood, station manager of Chakeri Airport, Ahirwa adding that the change in the flight timings last year too saw a good response from the passengers. "And this year too, we are hopeful that the re-scheduled flights would draw more passengers this winter," he added.
The change in the flight timings during the winter season is mainly because of absence of night landing system at the airport.
Notably, the irregular flight timings have been cited as a major hindrance in drawing the crowd coming from Delhi. Besides, the aviation sector in Kanpur has also been facing a tough competition from Shatabadi Express.
