The leading airlines have not come forward so far to operate flights from Guwahati to Mandalay (Myanmar) even as Nepal’s premier airline ‘Buddha Air’ recently conducted a route survey for the possible introduction of the international flight between Guwahati and Kathmandu.
“The Union Aviation ministry has already conducted a bidding process for the new international flights Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik (UDAN)-IV Scheme. But the leading airlines have not participated in the bidding forcing the Aviation ministry to give a fresh look into the entire issue,” a source told The Sentinel on Sunday.
Sources said the suspension of flights from Guwahati to Dhaka and Bangkok in the midway of their operation has proved to be a setback from business and psychological points of view for the airlines to operate flights in the new routes.
After a suspension of the Guwahati-Dhaka flight service by SpiceJet in September 2019, Nok Air — the Thailand-based low-cost airline — suspended its operations from Guwahati to Bangkok from January 20 this year.
