Hindon Airport Flight Services: In a significant development for travellers, Prayagraj is set to receive a new flight service from Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad, with daily flights to Bamrauli in Prayagraj and Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport in Lucknow.
This initiative aims to ease the pressure on Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi and Palam Airport, providing greater convenience for passengers travelling to and from Noida, Ghaziabad, and Meerut.
Current Flight Services From Prayagraj
Currently, Prayagraj is connected to major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Raipur, Bilaspur, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Bhubaneswar through its airport. During the Mahakumbh, the city's air connectivity extended to 26 cities across the country. However, several routes, including those to Bhopal, Ahmedabad, Pune, Patna, and Kolkata, have since been discontinued.
New Flight Preparations
Discussions between the Airport Authority of India (AAI) and two airlines have reached an advanced stage, with final talks already concluded. The implementation phase is now underway, following a crucial meeting held at the AAI office in New Delhi. During this meeting, Prayagraj MP Praveen Singh Patel and Ghaziabad MP Atul Garg advocated for the expansion of Hindon Airport and the enhancement of flight services.
Hindon Airport To Prayagraj, Lucknow: Expected Launch Timeline
According to MP Praveen Patel, all formalities for the flight service between Hindon Airport and Prayagraj/Lucknow are nearly complete. It is expected that the flight service will commence by Diwali, offering much-needed connectivity to the region. This new service will not only benefit Prayagraj but also neighbouring districts such as Pratapgarh, Jaunpur, Kaushambi, Bhadohi, Mirzapur, Sonbhadra, and Chitrakoot, as well as parts of Madhya Pradesh.
Impact On Local Travellers
The introduction of this flight service is expected to make travel more convenient for thousands of passengers. With Hindon Airport already becoming a preferred choice for travellers in the Delhi-NCR region, this new route will further enhance connectivity and accessibility for those in the western Uttar Pradesh and Haryana regions.
The upcoming flight service from Hindon Airport to Prayagraj and Lucknow marks a significant milestone in improving air connectivity for the region. With preparations in full swing and an expected launch by Diwali, travellers can look forward to a more seamless and efficient travel experience.
