New airline to start domestic flights soon from Bhubaneswar

Bhubaneswar: A regional carrier will soon start operating from Bhubaneswar airport. Air Costa, the first regional airline from the south, operated from Vijaywada, has evinced interest to start domestic flights from Bhubaneswar from the first week of September, said sources.

The Airbus, suitable for short-haul regional connectivity, is most likely to fly from Bhubaneswar to Chennai and Bangalore via Vizag. "The route is yet to be finalized. But we will start the service from the first week of September. Two flights ---E170 and E190 --- are likely to be commissioned from here," said airport director Sharad Kumar.
He said within a year, three more domestic flights may be given permission to operate from Bhubaneswar. "We are negotiating with Air Asia, Spice Jet and Go Air. They are keen but their flying is yet to be confirmed," the director said.
