The state government on Sunday allowed the operation of 50 flights to and from Mumbai from May 25, ending the uncertainty over the resumption of domestic flights in Maharashtra.
Mumbai is one of the six cities selected by the civil aviation ministry for starting domestic flights.
“We have decided to start flight operations from Mumbai. Initially, 25 flights each for landing and take-off will be allowed to operate from the city. Operations will be increased gradually,’’ said state minority affairs minister Nawab Malik.
The Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), which operates the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA), confirmed the same.
