IndiGo to fly direct from Bhubaneswar to Ahmedabad

IndiGo will start direct flight from Bhubaneswar to Kolkata from August 1. Flight (A320) will depart from Kolkata and reach Bhubaneswar at 12.20 am on a daily basis and will depart from Bhubaneswar at 5.25 am.

“We will also start direct flights between Bhubaneswar and Ahmedabad within few days. We have also written to IndiGo and Air Asia for starting operations between Bhubaneswar and Pune,” said Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA) Director Suresh Chandra Hota.

BPIA announced that it will start another direct flight from Bhubaneswar to Ahmedabad. Since there are no slots available at Pune airport, they have requested the two airlines for proceeding from Kolkata to Pune and vice-versa via Bhubaneswar.

“There are direct flights from Bhubaneswar to Kuala Lumpur, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Visakhapatnam and Chennai,” he informed. BPIA has registered a growth of 39.4 per cent during 2017-18 fiscal as compared to the last year in terms of total passengers handled.
