The direct international flight services from Bhubaneswar to Dubai will commence on the Utkala Divas, which is celebrated on April 1. This was informed to the state government by Indigo, who won the bid to operate direct flights to three important cities. The state Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik approved the bid of Indigo airlines on December 27. The Indigo aircraft will operate direct flights to Dubai for the first time. However, the ticket booking for the flight has not started yet as the reconstruction work of Terminal-2 of Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA) has not been completed. The aim is to complete the work within a month and the flight services to Dubai will be started from April 1, stated the state Transport Department. The Indigo flights to Singapore and Bangkok will commence after that.
