Preparations have begun for flight operations from Prayagraj to Ahmedabad, Indore, Kolkata and Dehradun next month.
After the expansion of the old terminal building of Prayagraj Airport, aviation companies have started the paperwork to start direct flight services to these four cities. Flight services to these four cities may begin after 15 December.
Aviation company Indigo can start direct flight service to Indore, Ahmedabad and Kolkata and Alliance Air to Dehradun. Direct flight service was also operated from Prayagraj to Indore, Kolkata and Dehradun in the past. Both Alliance and Indigo operated flights for Kolkata-Dehradun, but later it was stopped. Similarly, Indigo also stopped the flight service to Indore last year. The work of expansion of Prayagraj airport has been going on for one year. Now the airport authority has expanded the current terminal.
In such a situation, the capacity of the current terminal has increased from 350 passengers to 850 passengers. With the increase in the capacity of the terminal, the aviation companies have prepared to start the flights that were stopped earlier from here once again. After December 15, flights to Ahmedabad, Indore, Dehradun and Kolkata can be started.
Before the Maha Kumbh, air services are to be started for many important cities of the country. Earlier, in the meeting of the Airport Advisory Committee, it has been told about starting direct air services from here to Pune, Jaipur, Guwahati, Chennai, Jammu, Goa, Nagpur, Patna, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Bhopal and Indore. The airport management says that now direct air services are sure to start for all these cities before the Maha Kumbh. The beginning can start with Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Dehradun and Indore service.
Direct air services will be started for many cities before the Maha Kumbh. Aviation companies are making efforts in this direction. As soon as the schedule is released, it will be informed.
