Patna: Budget carriers IndiGo and SpiceJet have expressed interest to operate flights from Darbhanga to Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, Union civil aviation secretary R N Choubey told Bihar deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi at Delhi on Wednesday.
"IndiGo and SpiceJet have submitted bids for commencing commercial flight operations from Darbhanga to Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru under second bidding round of Udan scheme. We have been told that flight operations can commence in six months if the state government provides land for development of terminal building at Darbhanga," SuMo said.
Fare is capped at Rs2,500 for one-hour flights under the 'Ude desh ka aam nagrik' or Udan scheme to connect unserved and underserved airports.
