Air Odisha likely to launch UDAN flights from Nov end

MUMBAI: Bhubaneswar-based Air Odisha is likely to launch services under the UDAN scheme from next month-end even as it has agreed to reduce the proposed services to four as against six scheduled from New Delhi earlier. The air operator is expected to introduce its flight services from Ahmedabad to Bhavanagar, Jamnagar, Diu and Mundra in the first phase, a source close to the development said. Air Odisha, which currently has a non-scheduled operator permit, had bagged 50 routes to operate under the central-government’s subsidised Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik (UDAN) scheme in March this year.
