Cold Storage

Ramdas also announced the construction of a cold storage facility near the Horti culture College at a cost of Rs. one crore, to store horticultural products and export them to foreign markets, which would fetch premium prices for the farmers.

Via Bangalore is a fail

bangalore is ideal for mys-hyd as it is straight line, so is mys-bangalore-chennai. mys-goa-mumbai would have been better.

Mysore has night landing facilities

The facility only allows mid-sized aircrafts to operate. The airlines are seeking to use Mysore facility to park the flights and night landing services, he stated.

still nothing is confirmed

MYSORE: The air connectivity to the tourist hub could be restored by early June.

The state government is expecting two operators, SpiceJet and Indigo, to come back to it with fresh proposals this week and plans to relaunch the air services by June, district minister S A Ramdas said on Wednesday.

This follows a meeting last week at the Mysore Airport attended by representatives from air operators and other stakeholders.

Deputy commissioner P S Vastrad, who attended the meeting, had conveyed to the minister that the two operators are working out the flight plans and will come with fresh proposals.

"We expect the fresh plans to be submitted by this week and plan to relaunch the operation by early June. The air operators are working out details based on the availability of mid-sized aircraft," he told The Times of India.

Im really shocked that Indigo is interested to start with Mysore.
Indigo has a fleet off 56 Aircrafts and all are off Airbus A320, then how will they start with Mysore.
Mysore airport can only withstand ATR's or Q400 or any other small Aircrafts.

I still feel there should be atleast a flight to Delhi from Mysore, It should connect through Mangalore atleast

[gentem]

But as for routes i suggested say mumbai-mysore-bangalore, no traveller who wants to go from mumbai to bangalore will use it. If it becomes terminal it has to operate around noon. So mysore better a terminal point or connect a non-metro like bangalore-mysore-calicut. We dont know the business of these airlines, better i stay away from further discussion

Any News on Mysore Airport..??

Flight at dawn from Mysore airport soon

Sreekantswamy B, Mysore, Jun 27, 2012, DHNS :


Jet Airways may begin services from Dasara this year

If all goes well, commercial flights will take wing from the Mysore airport at Mandakalli this Dasara season.

The Jet Airways has given an in-principle approval to a proposal from the civil aviation ministry. “The only thing remaining is confirmation,” C Manjunath, director of the airport, told Deccan Herald.

He said the private airline was making a preliminary study to reschedule its flights. It may launch the services in October, coinciding with Nada Habba Dasara.

Manjunath said his office had forwarded a proposal to reschedule the arrival and departure of flights. If the departure is scheduled for 7 am, it will help bonafide passengers catch connecting flights in other prominent cities. If the flight makes a return journey in the evening and halts at night at the airport, it would be more helpful, he said.

Quoting an e-mail from Jet Airways, the director said the airline was keen on the morning flight, but was dithering over night parking at the airport. The airline higher-ups are wary of time, he said.

Earlier, when Kingfisher Airlines operated flights from Mysore, the arrival was at 12.30 pm and departure at 1.10 pm.

The response was overwhelming with a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 70 passengers availing the services on week days.

Taking the passenger traffic into cosideration, there could be at least 50 passengers for the morning flights. The figures are based on the feedback received from the representatives of software and multinational companies in the city. The same has been conveyed to Jet Airways, said Manjunath.

Kingfisher Airlines, which launched its services during Dasara in October 2010, withdrew its services after a year. But the full-fledged airport is still catering to chartered flights with a seating capacity of four to 13 twice a week.

Hope so everything goes well for Mysore Airport.

I had heard long back that After Hyderabad & Chennai, Bangalore would be the next base for SPICEJET., then why haven't they yet started operations with Bangalore.
Already Delhi has been announced as the Company's third base for Bombardier Q400.

Southern skies to see new airline routes
V Ayyappan,TNN | Aug 23, 2012, 06.33AM IST
CHENNAI: The sky over south India is likely to get crowded in coming months. If plans floated by a few new airlines take off on time, travelling time between smaller cities in the peninsula could soon reduce. Most tier-II cities here are not well connected to each other by air despite a large potential clientele, which is thereby forced to rely on roads and railways. But regional airlines are coming up in a big way to bridge the demand-supply gap and a vacuum created by the downsizing of Kingfisher Airlines.

Air Pegasus and Air Costa are gearing up to start services in a couple of months having received a no-objection from the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). They will interconnect tier II cities and connect tier II cities with the nearest metro as well. Under licence rules, regional airlines are allowed to fly to only one metro.

However, in the south, rules have been relaxed by DGCA due to the proximity of the three metros — Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore — and regional airlines will be allowed to fly into more than one metro. "We plan to start operations to 13 destinations, including Trichy, Madurai, Coimbatore, Mangalore, Chennai, Bangalore, Goa and Kochi, by October.

Aircraft will arrive soon and we are finalizing formalities at airports," said Shyson Thomas, managing director of Air Pegasus which was floated by ground-handling company Decor Aviation. "Smaller cities like Madurai, Trichy and Coimbatore are not well connected. Air Pegasus will take advantage of this drawback. Aviation is a viable business if daily cost calculation and routine analysis is done," said Thomas.

Given the short distances and the volume of traffic, regional airlines in the south are likely to adopt a business model which requires managing fleets of smaller aircraft like 50-60 seater ATRs and Bombardier aircraft. They will have a few advantages that many domestic airlines, including low cost carriers, do not enjoy. Aircraft with less than 80 seats are exempted from landing fees and fuel sales tax is only 4%.

Airports Authority of India (AAI) has also mooted proposals to improve air connectivity between tier II cities. These include concessional tariffs and waiving of night parking charges at tier II airports. To provide a boost to the sector, it is also modernizing around 35 smaller airports in the region.

"We have received requests from these airlines to start services from Chennai and other airports in the south. They have started recruiting managers and staff to handle airport operations," said a AAI official. Volk Air is another airline looking to operate to 15 cities in the region.

Meanwhile, the bigger players like Jet Airways and Air India are also improving frequencies between small towns and metros in the south from November. Air India will start a Kochi-Bangalore flight and a Kochi-Madurai service while Jet will start a Bangalore-Madurai service.

Small, but smart

Regional are expected to make flying cheaper and quicker between small cities Regional airlines will interconnect tier II cities with direct flights and connect tier II cities with a metro city The carriers will use 12-seater Beechcraft to 80 seater ATR or Bombairdier aircraft to operate services Air Costa, Air Pegasus, Volk Air, Deccan Shuttle, Karina Airlines, Religare Voyages have received no objection certificates from ministry of civil aviation to operate regional airlines Small aircraft are exempted from landing fees at airports and are charged less for fuel.

Mysore airport may resume services soon

Mysore, Sep 7, 2012, DHNS :
If all goes well, Mysore Airport may resume commercial flight operations sooner or later.

Principal secretary to the department of commerce and industries M N Vidyashankar on Friday said that following a move from the government, two private airlines have evinced interest in starting commercial flight operations from Mysore. According to the survey conducted by Spice Jet and Indigo airlines, there is a demand for flights to and from- Mysore- Coimbatore, Mangalore and Mumbai. Unlike previous years, there is no demand between Mysore and Bangalore route, with the international airport in the latter city, being far from the heart of the city.

Speaking to media, after inaugurating Deal It biz, a three-day exhibition of electronic gadgets, at Hotel Regaalis in the city, the officer justified the decisions to open airports in Hassan and Shimoga too, as there is a demand. The officer also announced to patronage IT biz, besides instructing the organisers to host conferences and organise more number of students to visit such meets.

The officer said that the department he represents will arrange for the speakers including the big names in the arena to share their wide vista of knowledge in the conferences. More number of youths should be benefited by such exercises as they are the future of the country. He also said that organising such conferences and exhibitions in the commercial part of the city will be a plus. He said that Mysore is set to benefit in a bigger way in the coming years, as giants in the international arena are turning towards Bangalore.

The three-day expo is a single stop for the electronic gadgets from laptops to accessories, PCs and CCTV cameras, digital projector to screen among several others.
