Star Air, an Indian commuter airline, launches its new regional operation between Bidar and Bengaluru. The direct flight service began on Wednesday (Jun 15) and will be its 18th destination.
Star Air will operate its Embraer 145 jets to the cool and picturesque hills of Bidar. As air connectivity is both an economic enabler as well as an employment growth engine, flights to the new destination will not only strengthen tourism but also boost the socio-economic growth of the city.
Star Air will operate four times a week between Bidar and Bengaluru on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. The schedule of these flights has been planned to offer passengers the most reasonable prices under the popular UDAN scheme. The flight service between Bengaluru and Bidar covers 520km of this distance in just 1 hour 10 minutes instead of 8-12 hours via other modes of transportation. Tourists can also visit Kalaburagi, Nanded, Nizamabad, and Hyderabad as they lie in close proximity to Bidar.
Currently, Star Air offers scheduled flight services to 18 Indian destinations that include Ahmedabad, Ajmer (Kishangarh), Bengaluru, Belagavi, Delhi (Hindon), Hubballi, Indore, Jodhpur, Kalaburagi, Mumbai, Nashik, Surat, Tirupati, Jamnagar, Hyderabad, Nagpur, Bhuj, and Bidar.
