Nagpur: Taking cognisance of recent TOI reports that aerobridges at the airport have been reduced to mere showpieces, Mihan India Limited (MIL), the company operating the city airport, finally got Air Arabia to start using the facility from Monday morning without any formal inauguration.
All domestic airlines operating flights from the city have been reluctant to use the aerobridge. This has deprived passengers, especially the elderly, the facility to board and leave aircraft directly into the terminal building.
Finally, international airline Air Arabia started using the facility for its passengers from Monday. Air Arabia operates the lone international flight from city to Sharjah thrice a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Six airlines; Air India, Jet, Spice Jet, Kingfisher Red, Indigo and Go Air, operate flights to various destinations from Nagpur. Two airlines, Air India and Indigo, already have operators and their own equipment like pushback tractors, toe bar etc for aerobridge operations. However, the airlines are still reluctant to use the services provided by MIL, for reasons best known to them, sources at the airport said.
