Mangalore: MP Resents Proposed Cancellation of City-Delhi Direct Flight

Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SP)

Mangalore, Oct 28: Dakshina Kannada MP, Nalin Kumar, has resented the information that the operation of the direct flight No. 7613 that was operational between the city and New Delhi since the last about three months, will be suspended with effect from November 1 this year.

In a letter dated October 28 to the director (personal) of Indian airlines, Kateel has drawn the official’s attention to the fact that the passengers from the city had earlier been suffering, as their valuable time was lost in taking a detour to Delhi via Mumbai or Bangalore.

“After this flight was begun, the air passengers from here were very much benefitted.  Now I understand that the flight is being cancelled with effect from November 1. There was no information either to the people or the people’s representatives like me about the proposed cancellation, and no reasons have been attributed for this decision. The people, especially the business community, who are regular commuters of this sector, feel that this is an unwarranted decision,” he said in the letter.

He has urged Anup Srivasthav, director (personal), Indian Airlines, to reconsider the above decision and continue to operate the said flight as before, in the interests of the general public.
