The Nashik-Jaipur flight service, which was suspended for the past two months, is set to restart from February 1. Bookings for this service began on Tuesday (January 21) and have received a positive response from passengers, as seen earlier.
A significant number of people travel to Rajasthan from Nashik for industrial, trade, tourism, and family purposes. The suspension of direct flights had caused inconvenience. IndiGo had initiated direct flights from Nashik to Jaipur via Indore on October 29. However, the service was suspended on December 14 due to low visibility and other technical issues.
Now, the service is being restored, and bookings have already started. By Tuesday noon, 58 out of 78 seats for the first flight were booked, causing the fare to rise to Rs. 13,000.
Services will operate from Ozar airport three days a week—Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On these days, the flight will depart from Jaipur at 11:20 am, arrive at Ozar at 2:20 pm, depart from Ozar at 2:40 pm, and reach Jaipur at 5:30 pm, with a 20-minute stop at Indore.
Currently, Ozar airport offers flights to New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Goa, Indore, Lucknow, and Bengaluru. Jaipur will now be added to the list.
Manish Rawal, President of the NIMA Aviation Committee, stated, "We are also following up with other companies to start their services from Nashik. Talks are underway with Air India and Akasa. Efforts are being made to begin services to Chennai, Kolkata, and an additional flight for New Delhi."
