NEW DELHI: AirAsia is waiting for the go-ahead from India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation to start direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Bhubaneswar in March this year.
The Malaysian budget airline will launch the new service once it receives formal permission from the Indian aviation regulator in its plans to boost the eastern Indian state of Odisha’s international links and tourism traffic.
Airports Authority of India’s eastern region executive director, Sanjay Jain, said the airport operator would extend all support to AirAsia for the flight services. - Bernama
