BHUBANESWAR: In a bid to expand air connectivity within Odisha, the state government has decided to allow airline operators to start intra-state operations for individual routes or a set of connected routes.
Odisha has 26 airports/airstrips, including one international and five private and commercial each. Besides, two more are coming up at Dhamra and Puri. While commercial flight services have already been started from Jharsuguda, Rourkela, Jeypore and Rangeilunda (non-scheduled) apart from Bhubaneswar, such services are likely to commence at Utkela and Malkangiri soon.
