“Gondia to soon connect with Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi” – Rajendra Jain
Speaking at the launch, former MLA Rajendra Jain highlighted that Gondia has now been directly connected to Bengaluru due to MP Praful Patel’s efforts. He added that flights to Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi are also expected soon, which will further accelerate Gondia’s trade and connectivity with India’s major cities.
It is noteworthy that earlier, MP Patel facilitated Indigo’s flight services from Birsi Airport to Hyderabad and Tirupati. The newly launched Gondia–Indore–Bengaluru service by Star Air marks another milestone in this journey.
Jain also urged citizens to make full use of the modern facilities at the upgraded Birsi Airport and its growing network of regular flights.
