Finally, fly within Gujarat starting today

Ahmedabad The man who redefined the aviation industry in India is all set to do it again. Captain G R Gopinath will finally launch Deccan Shuttle on Monday, connecting the cities of Ahmedabad, Surat and Bhavnagar by air. Attempts to start the service have seen many hurdles in the recent past, but it has finally been given the green signal.
The service will initially connect the three cities and will go on to have 12 daily flights between nine major cities of Gujarat. Jamnagar and Kandla are expected to be added next.
Gopinath had announced the service last year but the plans were grounded after the lease agreement under which the aircraft had been procured was not acceptable to the Director General of Civil Aviation. The captain has now procured two Cessna Grand Caravan 208 B aircraft under 'dry lease'.
