New Delhi: The expansion plans of domestic carriers and limited infrastructure at major airports could well be a blessing in disguise for tier II and III cities such as Coimbatore, Madurai, Guwahati, Jaipur and Chandigarh, as they could see enhanced aircraft movement in the coming years.

Scoot recently started a tri-weekly service between Amritsar and Singapore and is set to launch services from Jaipur later this year.
