Kalaburagi Airport is set to resume regular flight operations from Wednesday with regional carrier Star Air operating daily flights connecting Kalaburagi and Bengaluru, Airport Director Kishore Killampalli said.

Announcing the resumption at a press conference on Monday, Mr Killampalli said the airport was fully ready for commercial operations after recent infrastructure upgrades and regulatory clearances.

Daily service will be operated on Bengaluru-Kalaburagi-Bengaluru route.

The flight from Bengaluru departs at 6:30 AM and reaches Kalaburagi at 7:40 AM

The return service will depart from Kalaburagi at 8:10 AM and reach Bengaluru at 9:20 AM. This will provide morning connections for passengers traveling in both directions.

Star Air will deploy its Embraer E175 aircraft on the route offering a 76-seat configuration designed for regional connectivity.

Mr. Killampalli noted that a team of experts from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation conducted a detailed inspection and safety audit of the airport 15 days ago and equipped the facility for safe landing operations.

“At the moment, only one airline operates from Kalaburagi airport. We are in the process of approaching other airlines to introduce more routes from there,” Mr Killampalli said.

Kalaburagi Airport is expected to resume regular connectivity and enhance air access between Kalyana region of Karnataka and Bengaluru, he added.
