MP meets Civil Aviation Minister, seeks more flights from Mysuru
The HinduMysuru MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar on Saturday met Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu in New Delhi in connection with the expansion of Mysuru airport and to bring more flights to Mysuru. The MP’s meeting gains significance amidst the decreasing air connectivity since last year, with only two cities now connected to Mysuru, a tourist and a yoga hub. During his meeting, the MP explained the need for good air connectivity in Mysuru, arguing that it will foster trade, business, and generate employment in the constituency. Though the Mysuru airport is undergoing expansion, the decreasing number of flights has put a question mark on the ongoing efforts, with the travellers from Mysuru questioning the purpose behind the airport expansion when the number of flights were getting reduced despite good passenger traffic.
