Airlines upbeat about night flights to Srinagar

Air Asia and Vistara are among the private airlines that have queued up before the Directorate General of Civil Aviation to get permit for night flights in Srinagar following the state government’s decision to allow the same from May. Reports said that more airlines have shown interest to operate on Srinagar-Delhi circuit, increasing the scope of tourist footfall in Jammu and Kashmir.

Divisional Commissioner Kashmir Asghar Samoon told the media that all decks have been cleared for the night flights despite CRPF’s objections on ground of security concern.
