Srinagar: After being grounded for almost two months owing to COVID19, the Srinagar- Sharjah direct flight resumed operations on Wednesday. The direct flight service, which was flagged off by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on October 23 last year had witnessed several roadblocks.
First the denial of airspace from Pakistan followed by a sharp decrease in passenger occupancy in January this year, had derailed the flight operations of the direct service.
However, GoFirst (formerly known as GoAir) on Wednesday started resumption of direct international connection and direct international cargo operations from Srinagar to Sharjah, reinforcing its gulf operations. As per a GoFirst official, it was the first airline to introduce direct service from Srinagar to Sharjah last year, under the Air Bubble agreement.
