Nanded city will receive air connectivity to five important cities of the country starting from March 31. These destinations include New Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Jalandhar, and Ahmedabad. The Delhi–Jalandhar–Bengaluru service will operate on a daily basis, while the air service to Hyderabad and Ahmedabad will be available five days a week, according to sources.
The city's air passengers have been demanding air connectivity to various destinations for the past three years. Locals and devotees coming to the Sachkhand Gurudwara face severe inconvenience due to the lack of proper transportation facilities. Not only people from the country but also from abroad visit Nanded in large numbers.
