Air Deccan to introduce Calcutta - Jamshedpur, New Delhi flights

Ranchi: Air Deccan is all set to introduce a flight between Calcutta and Jamshedpur, besides a flight to the national capital.
Airline sources confided, on condition of anonymity, that while the air-link between Calcutta and Jamshedpur awaits security clearance and facilities at the Jamshedpur airstrip, the link to the national capital depends on how quickly the state government finalises its offer of subsidising vacant seats.
While the Calcutta-Jamshedpur flight will have to operate in daylight hours in the absence of night-landing facilities at Jamshedpur, and would use one of the smaller aircraft, for the flight to Delhi and back from the state capital it will press an Airbus into service. This, said airline sources, would enable passengers from Delhi to fly to Ranchi in the morning and return the same evening.
The airline, confirmed Tata Steel sources, has initiated talks with the company for using its private airport at Jamshedpur.
