JAIPUR: Good news for air, train and bus travellers. Jaipur airport is likely to add flights to Chennai, Mumbai and Amritsar while the Rajasthan State Roadways Corporation (RSRTC) will start services to 18 new routes across the state. The Indian Railways is planning to add 50 more special trains from next week, some of which are expected to be run by North Western Railway (NWR).
There has been a gradual increase in passenger load on various routes for outbound flights prompting operators to increase frequency of flights in some of the routes while adding new flights on some routes.
“There is a possibility of flights from Jaipur to Chennai, Jaipur to Amritsar and even one more for Jaipur to Mumbai. Earlier we were operating 14 out of the 21 scheduled flights. In the last one week, have stated operating 17 to 18 flights per day,” said a senior officer at the air traffic control at Jaipur airport.
Similarly, RSRTC, which has been seeing a significant rise in its passenger load — between 60 per cent and 70 per cent, is planning to start new services on 18 different routes from Monday. “These will include inter-state buses and some for neighbouring state Haryana,” said Sudhir Bhati, manager (public relations), RSRTC.
Likewise, trains to cities such as Allahabad and Lucknow are likely to be added from Jaipur from next week. “Until we get a nod from the railway board on the operations, we can’t say much,” said a senior officer of traffic section of NWR.
