The Gaggal airport in Kangra district will witness six flights daily, making it the busiest airport in the state.
IndiGo will start operating a flight from Gaggal from March. Already, Spice is operating three flights daily while Air-India two flights from the airport.
The Gaggal airport is the busiest airports. The demand for its expansion has been raised since long. The airport strip is 1,372 metre and can only accommodate small 70-seater planes. As only small planes can land here, the airfare is among the highest in the country. It touches as high as Rs 21,000 for one way trip from Dharamsala to Delhi in the peak season.
