Jeypore: Intra-state commercial air services are likely to start from the Jeypore airstrip in Koraput district in the first week of February.
Sources said the airstrip’s construction is in progress. Although the project is almost complete, some work is still pending and that would be over by March.
The formalities required to obtain permission from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) are also almost complete. The district administration is likely to apply for a licence in the last week of January, the sources said.
After Bhubaneswar and Jharsuguda, the Jeypore airport will be the third to get the civil aviation airport tag in the state. As of now flights are planned from Jeypore to Bhubaneswar, Visakhapatnam, Raipur and Hyderabad.
The airstrip built in the 1960s was used whenever ministers or VIPs visited the town. In the 1980s, Vayudoot operated flights from the Jeypore airstrip. But the service was stopped after the flight crashed without injuring anyone.
