Bhubaneswar: Direct flights to Indore, Dehradun, Kochi, Jaipur, and Lucknow will soon be launched from Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA), Bhubaneswar.
Similarly, Veer Surendra Sai Airport in Jharsuguda will see new direct flights to Hyderabad, Raipur, Lucknow, and Mumbai.
Announcing the development in a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Chief Minister’s Office (@CMO_Odisha) highlighted that Odisha’s recently approved New Destination Policy has incentivized airlines to expand their operations at Bhubaneswar and Jharsuguda airports.
These enhanced air connections are expected to significantly boost commerce and tourism across the state. The availability of belly cargo on these flights will also provide a strong push for the transportation and growth of agricultural produce, further driving Odisha’s economic development, the post added.
