Mysore got its air connectivity restored with the Spice Jet ATR plane taking off from the airport on Saturday. Mysore MP Vishwanath flagged off the first flight of the Spice jet plane from the Mysore's Mandkalli airport.
Earlier the Kingfisher airways which used to operate its flight thrice a week stopped its services six seven months ago owing to losses suffered by the company. It was also said that the air services to Mysore from Bangalore are not profitable and this was the reason the private air service operators were reluctant to operate their services from Mysore.
However , after negotiations and persuasion by the state government and MP Vishwanath with the private airways, Spice jet came forward and agreed to operate its services six days a week. People from city can now fly directly to Chennai via Bangalore or they can travel to Bangalore or to other destinations from Bangalore by connecting planes.
