Bhubaneswar: Two new airlines - one for the domestic and another for the international circuit - are soon going to start operations from Biju Patnaik Airport, sources said.
While Go Air will start domestic operations from Bhubaneswar to Mumbai and Bangalore in May, Air Asia is slated to start international operations in March. This was decided during meetings of the representatives of 20 fliers at the AAI Kolkata regional office on January 20.
"The airlines have to seek permission from the ministry of civil aviation to start the operations. We have discussed all modalities including the services to be provided by us to the fliers," said airport director Sharad Kumar.
Air Asia will fly to Kuala Lumpur from here. "Both the airlines have Boeing aircraft, which can accommodate more than 150 passengers. Go Air will help us resume services to Bangalore, which was stopped after Jet Airways withdrew in October," said the director.
