Mangaluru: Alliance Air, a subsidiary of Air India, has decided to operate Mysuru-Mangaluru flight under the Centre’s UDAN scheme.

Reportedly, Alliance Air was tentatively scheduled to commence from October 25 but Mysuru Airport Director R. Manjunath said that the date of commencement will be confirmed in a day or two.

According to airport authorities, Mangaluru would be the seventh destination to have air connectivity from Mysuru. The other cities already linked to Mysuru include Bengaluru, Kochi, Chennai, Belagavi, Goa and Hyderabad.

It may be recalled that Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha and several Industrial bodies had appealed to the air service provider to operate flights between the two cities.
