Siliguri: Indo-Bhutan air link is getting stronger with the plan of Bhutan's national airline Drukair to connect Indian city Mumbai with Thimphu. The connectivity with India's financial capital and gateway to outer world is expected to widen the path of entry for the foreign tourists to Indian as well as landlocked Bhutanese continent.
As the airline's plan goes, the connectivity is getting operational by 1st May 2014. According to Drukair sources, it will have twice in a week flight to Mumbai. The airline is finalizing the route from Thimphu to Mumbai, either via Nepal's capital Kathmandu or direct. Though yet to be announced, the fare is likely to be slightly higher than Thimphu-Delhi fare.
