Alliance Air on Thursday began flight operations between Kalaburagi and Mumbai, the financial capital of India.
The first flight, carrying 22 passengers, took off from Mumbai Airport at 9.07 am and arrived at Kalaburagi Airport at 9.40 am. In the wake of a surge in Covid-19 cases in Maharashtra, those passengers who landed without RT-PCR negative certificate were subjected to RT-PCR test at the airport itself.
The fight was accorded water salute as soon as it landed at Kalaburagi Airport. The flight will be operated every day between Mumbai and Kalaburagi. Alliance Air and Star Air are already operating flights to Bengaluru, Delhi (Hindon) and Tirupati from Kalaburagi.
