Mysoreans have bad news in store ahead of Deepavali. Starting October 27, there will be no direct flight between Mysore and Bangalore from Mysore Airport.
SpiceJet has rescheduled its operations, cancelling the services between the cities from the said date, while there will be a direct air connectivity between Mysore and Chennai.
In the changed timings, the flight will arrive at the Mysore airport at around 10.30 am and will depart at 10.50 am. After Kingfisher stopped its commercial operations from Mysore Airport in the fag end of 2011, the airport jumped back to life, when SpiceJet resumed services from January 14.
Though the flight was operated on alternate days from Monday to Friday, on an average there were 40 to 50 passengers.
The same flight was connected to Chennai. Director of the Airport Jagadeeshan told Deccan Herald that though they were officially unaware of the sudden change in the schedule of the airline, it was surmised that the lack of infrastructure had forced the operator to take such a decision.
