Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In the summer schedule of flight operations, which will come into effect from Sunday, the most significant change involves the Sharjah flight, which will now operate from the city to Abu Dhabi. However, only two new flights are being introduced this time, for Navi Mumbai and Jalgaon.
Official sources at Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport said on Thursday that although the Sharjah flight is currently suspended due to the ongoing conflict in West Asia, Air India Express has secured approval for its inclusion in the summer schedule. As per the schedule, once Air India Express resumes its Sharjah service, the flight will be routed to Abu Dhabi instead. However, passengers travelling to Indore will still need to board this flight from Sharjah.
The airport will again remain operational 24 hours a day. IndiGo is set to resume its late-night flight service to Pune, which will arrive at 2:30 am and depart shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the final flight of the night is scheduled to depart for Delhi at 11:15 pm.
Airport sources said the summer schedule, which begins on the last Sunday of March, will remain in force until the last Sunday of October. This season, airlines are largely continuing operations of existing flights, and expectations of new destinations have not been met. The only new service being introduced is a flight to Jalgaon, operated by Fly91, which has also received approval for a Mumbai service.
