Trichy: SpiceJet which at present operates a daily service to Trichy from Chennai in the evenings will not be operating any service to Trichy from November 2, when the winter schedule takes effect.
As per the new schedule, Trichy will get a total of 68 services a week, but there will only be one domestic operator- Jet Airways- from November 2, instead of two at present. A SpiceJet spokesman told TOI that it is cancelling its services from Trichy due to operational reasons.
Trichy airport offers daily flights to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Colombo and Dubai by five international operators, and the Sri Lankan and Mihin together operate 18 services a week to Colombo. "We still need direct flights to Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Muscat in the west, and Bangkok in the south east. These services are highly desirable now that the Trichy airport is known to the international community through the elevation of its status," airport director S Dharmaraj said.
