Rising Demand on the Nagpur–Bengaluru Sector
Apart from Mumbai, the Nagpur–Bengaluru route has also seen significant growth in passenger traffic in recent years, mainly due to increasing opportunities in the IT sector. With many Nagpur-based engineers securing high-paying jobs in Bengaluru, IndiGo already operates three daily flights on this route.
Meanwhile, Star Airlines, which had earlier scheduled a one-day special flight on August 9 for Raksha Bandhan, has now announced plans to operate additional flights between Bengaluru and Nagpur on October 26–27 for the winter season.
However, frequent last-minute schedule changes by Star Airlines have raised concerns among travelers. Many passengers have faced inconvenience due to sudden cancellations or rescheduling, making them hesitant to rely on the airline’s services.
