Air connectivity to and from Mysuru has been reduced to just two cities since the last two months and even the winter schedule of the flights valid from October 29, 2023 to March 30, 2024 announced by the Director General of Civil Aviation, has not given an additional slot to the city.
While Hyderabad and Chennai continue to be connected to Mysuru, the flight to Goa which used to fly with near-full passenger occupancy has also been withdrawn much to the chagrin of the local people.
While questions have been raised about the wisdom of airport expansion under such a scenario, the Mysuru Airport Director J.R. Anoop said that withdrawal of services have nothing to do with passenger traffic. He said the passenger traffic potential of Mysuru is proven across different sectors and there is demand for more.
