ROURKELA: The Steel City of Rourkela is likely to get its first air connection shortly with a Kolkata-based private air service operator all set to start Rourkela - Kolkata air service from September 1 this year.
The necessary clearances from the Airport Authority of India Ltd and Rourkela Steel Plant have been obtained for launching the flight service, sources said.
DTDS, a Kolkata-based travel and tour operator, has got the clearance from Rourkela Steel Plant for using its airport to operate one private air taxi, which would be a three to nine seater flight. DTDS has been providing similar kind of air services from Bokaro to Kolkata. "Our technical team has already inspected the Rourkela airport and given clearance for operation of our flight and therefore we are absolutely ready to start the service," said Ronee Ghosh, area manager of DTDS India.
