RAJAMAHENDRAVARAM: Flight services at the Rajahmundry airport has taken a beating due to a shortage of fleet. Demand for flights in larger airports is on the rise, resulting in a reduction of operations to smaller airports like Rajamahendravaram.
The flow of passengers at Rajahmundry airport used to be around 40,000 until last month, which has come down to 33,000 this month. Until recently, 26 services were operated by 13 aircraft.
Later, Jet Airways has stopped its operations to Rajamahendravaram and after a few days, Spicejet followed suit by stopping services to the city and other destinations. Presently, TruJet and IndiGo flights only are in operation which has resulted in a reduction in passenger flow. Presently, flights are being operated to Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore from Rajamahendravaram.
