From Nagpur morning flights to Mum, Delhi soon

Nagpur: After seeing only bad news for the last few months, at last there is something to cheer for Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport, Nagpur. Low cost airlines JetLite and Indigo have proposed to start early morning and late evening direct flights to Mumbai and Delhi, and regular flights to Pune and Hyderabad soon.
TOI has many times highlighted that there are no early morning and late evening flights to Mumbai and Delhi. Frequent flyers too have demanded flights to Mumbai or New Delhi at 6.30am, with the possibility of returning on a late night flight from these destinations, instead of having to spend a night there.
Sources at the airport run by Mihan India Private Limited (MIPL) reveal that to make this request a reality, JetLite and Indigo airlines have started putting plans in place. JetLite has plans to operate flights on Delhi, Pune and Hyderabad sector from November while Indigo Airlines is keen on starting flights to Chennai and New Delhi.
MIPL project manager Abid Ruhi confirmed the development and said domestic airlines (including Jet Airways and Indigo) have evinced interest to avail of the night parking facility being offered by MIPL at Nagpur airport.
