Air travel to Bhutan from city still a distant dream

Mumbai: Those planning to travel to Bhutan from Mumbai will have to wait a bit longer before their plan materialises. Bhutan’s national carrier Druk Air, which is the only airline that operates in India, has postponed the operation of its flights till March, 2013.
Their plan had been delayed at least twice earlier and sources say the reason behind these delays is that the Mumbai airport is uncomfortable with the erratic schedule of the airline.
They also said that Druk Air has not been able to come up with a fixed schedule based on which, an allotment is made by the operator and Directorate General of Civil Aviation. “If they come up with a schedule, the airport has no issues with offering them an allotment,” said Mumbai airport spokesperson.
