Mysore to get air connectivity with Bangalore from 14 January

After 14 months, the commercial flights will start operations from January 14 with a private operator agreeing to kickstart the air operations from Mysore. Ahead of it, the senior executives are visiting the Mysore facility on Thursday and holding discussion with officials of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the district administration.

The commercial flights will resume from Mysore from January 14 with direct flight between Mysore and Bangalore, the Mysore Airport chief C Manjunath said. As per the initial plan, the flights will operate three days in a week, he told TOI. "We'll discuss about the flight plan with the air operator," he stated.

While the resumption of the air operations is welcomed, the stakeholders are not impressed with the flight schedule. We are getting enquiries and traffic is bound to pick up, B S Prashanth of the Mysore Travel Agents Association said. What is tricky is the flight will depart Bangalore at 12.20 pm and arrive here at 1.10pm and will take off from Mysore at 1.30pm.

Travelers want early morning flights from Mysore, the president of the MTTA said. What is encouraging is that the operator is linking Mysore to Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai, he stated. "We hope the operator will operate flights both early morning and late evening," he stated adding Mysore has to potential to generate traffic.
