The flight between Hubballi and Mysuru inaugurated on Tuesday has brought the two important cities much closer and shored up connectivity between the north and southern parts of Karnataka.
Apart from giving an impetus to trade and commerce, it is also expected to give a boost to tourism sector in both the regions.
The Indigo flight from Hubballi reached Mysuru at 6.05 p.m. and was accorded a water canon salute on landing and it left with about 21 passengers on board on the return flight at 6.25 p.m. The passenger traffic is expected to increase given the number of people who travel between the two regions on a daily basis.
