Mysore: Visitors to Mysore this Dasara season may have to travel only by bus, road or private charter flights.
The sole commercial operator has indicated to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) it will discontinue the Mysore-Chennai flight from September 1 even as no airline has approached the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for permission to operate flights out of Mysore in the winter schedule starting October.
The Mysore airport, built by the AAI at an investment of Rs 80 crore, will not operate commercial flights during the peak tourist season. The stakeholders are now pinning their hopes on Union minister of state for civil aviation GM Siddeshwara who will visit the city on Saturday.
SpiceJet, which got Mysore air connectivity in January 2013, indicated to the AAI it could stop services to Mysore. "SpiceJet representatives informed me they will discontinue Mysore operations. They attributed it to the load factor," C Manjunath, Mysore airport chief, said, adding that he's awaiting written communication from them.
