Air connectivity between Kalaburagi and Bengaluru was restored on Wednesday with Star Air resuming its flight service on the route after it was made possible through financial support extended by the Kalyana Karnataka Region Development Board (KKRDB).
The resumption of flight services was marked by a simple function at Kalaburagi Airport with Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation Chairman and Kalaburagi North MLA Kaneez Fatima and Afzalpur MLA M.Y. Patil formally launching them.
They distributed tickets to members of the family of Kalyana Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KKCCI) president Sharanabasappa Pappa who were among the passengers on the inaugural flight from Kalaburagi.
The 76-seat Star Air flight arrived at Kalaburagi Airport at 7.40 a.m. after leaving Bengaluru at 6.30 a.m. with 74 passengers on board. The return flight left Kalaburagi at 8.10 a.m. carrying 50 passengers.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, KKRDB Chairman Ajay Singh said that the restoration of air services will help boost tourism, investment and economic activity in the Kalyana Karnataka region.
