Jalandhar, November 28

The first domestic flight connecting Mumbai and the Doaba region took off from Adampur airport on Saturday, but sans passengers.

The Adampur-Mumbai flight was supposed to take off from Adampur airport on November 25 but could not.

The flight, however, came on Friday, but could not return due to some technical fault and it left the Adampur airport on Saturday without any passenger.

As per sources, the 72-seater flight arrived here with 10 passengers and 41 passengers were scheduled to board the flight to Mumbai from Adampur on Friday. Owing to minimal bookings, there was no certainty over the active resumption of Mumbai-Adampur flight for the time being.

After Amritsar, Adampur was considered the second option for air travel to Mumbai and the announcement regarding the same was made on November 14. The flight was scheduled to take around three hours to reach its destination. The airfare for an economy class is Rs4,197, which is dependent on route, booking time and availability.

Similarly, the Delhi-bound flight also left on Saturday after remaining cancelled on Friday. The airfare of the flight has presently been increased.
