Indore: The much awaited intra-state air service, connecting Bhopal-Indore-Jabalpur-Gwalior, is likely to commence next week.
"The air service will commence next week for sure. The airline - Ventura Airconnect Private Ltd - is likely to get clearance soon from Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to fly Cessna Grand Caravan Aircraft and the service will begin next week," Madhya Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (MPTDC) chairman Dr Mohan Yadav told TOI.
"All preparations have been completed for the launch of the air service," Dr Yadav said. MPTDC and Ventura Airconnect Pvt Ltd have inked an agreement to start the air service to boost tourism in Madhya Pradesh. Ventura will fly 9-seater Cessna aircraft of which 3 to 4 seats would be bought by the state government for its officials to ensure that the project is viable, an MPTDC official said.
After starting the air services between four cities, MPTDC and Ventura will connect smaller cities and tourist places like tiger reserves and Khajuraho, he added.
