Airport authorities in Ranchi have requested the state government to provide at least five more flights, citing an increase in the passenger density owing to relaxations in the lockdown curbs.
“We have requested the government to provide us more flights as the count of passengers is increasing. They are considering our request,” said airport director Vinod Sharma, explaining that the increase would mean 15 daily flights from now on.
Birsa Munda Airport has been operating at a flight frequency of less than half of the usual number since resumption of services in May-end. “We will now require at least five more flights to meet the demand of passengers,” Sharma said on Tuesday,
