Air Odisha to start interstate ops in mid-3Q

Air Odisha (Bhubaneswar) is planning to begin regional interstate operations a month after the government of the Northeast Indian state of Odisha withdrew a domestic services contract.

As such, the passenger charter specialist has now secured official approval from the Indian Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to commence flights from Bhubaneswar to Ranchi (Jharkhand), Raipur (Chhattisgarh), and Nagpur (Maharashtra) with effect from August 15.

Operations are on-board Cessna (single turboprop) Grand Caravan 208Bs.
