Poor investment scenario: Airlines ground Odisha flights

Bhubaneswar: With big ticket investors showing little interest for more investments in Odisha, airlines are cancelling a number of fights to the State capital city of Bhubaneswar.
“One after another, the airlines have stopped their flights to Odisha as traffic is dwindling,” said an industry watcher.
At one point of time, at least 50 flights were operating daily from Bhubaneswar. But in the changed circumstances, major airlines are showing little interest in the capital city of Odisha, said he.
Air India, Jet Air, Kingfisher and IndiGo have cut down a number of flights to the State, thanks to the indifferent attitude of the big ticket investors towards the State, he said. A sluggish economic situation, coupled with slowdown in the mining sector, has hit the airlines badly, said a leading tour operator.
