The airline will operate a 72-seater ATR72 aircraft on the sector.

Runway commissioning

Meanwhile, the Airports Authority of India has put on hold the commissioning of the extended runway at the airport, pending the glidepath calibration. The Airport officials had earlier planned to commission the extended runway on January 1.

A trial calibration of the relocated Instrument Landing System (ILS) conducted a few months back had identified certain obstructions. Airport sources said they were expecting the AAI special flight soon to carry out a fresh calibration.
