Air Deccan to start flights to Kangra Valley

Shimla: Air Deccan will soon start operating flights to the scenic Kangra valley in Himachal Pradesh.
The Kangra airport, some 240 km from here, was recently upgraded and 50-seater planes can now land there.
Said Kangra district magistrate Bharat Khera: 'The Kangra airport runway has been increased from 3,900 feet to 4,500 feet to enable 50-seater planes to land here with ease.'
The decision to start flights to the valley was taken after Air Deccan officials met with top state officials earlier this week.
'By the end of this month we will start trial flights after which daily flights could be started from Delhi to Kangra,' said B.M. Uthai, deputy general manager (operations) of Air Deccan.
