Mysuru: Even as the discussion is on to build a new airport in Mysuru or to expand the existing Mysore Airport to international-standard one, the special flight service between Mysuru and Bengaluru will end today.
There will be no flights to from Mysore Airport to Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) Bengaluru from tomorrow and the reason is lack of occupancy. The existing lone TruJet flight from Mysuru to Chennai and Hyderabad will, however, continue.
The Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation and the State Tourism Department collaborated with Air India and the Air India had agreed to operate its Alliance Air flight services between the two cities at subsidised fares. Depending on the response to the Alliance Air operations, the State government had planned to extend the flight services. The initial response was good but it declined later. “For six days from the date of operations the service recorded full occupancy but gradually, the occupancy reduced to less than half,” sources said.
