JAISALMER: Spicejet airlines has decided to suspend its daily flight services to Delhi and Jaipur from Jaisalmer from March 27 until the next tourism season in October. In the summer season, hardly any tourists come to Jaisalmer, hence the decision.
Confirming this, Jaisalmer civil airport deputy director Abhinav Jain said the last flight will operate on March 26 to Delhi and Jaipur and the new schedule will come in October.
He said Spicejet connected Jaisalmer with Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Jaipur. Due to technical issues, the company had stopped its flights to Mumbai and Bangaluru. He said another company, Trujet, had given a proposal to start flight services from Jaisalmer to Bikaner, Ahmedabad, and Udaipur from April.
With this move, there is disappointment among local people, defence personnel, and other government officers as there is limited connectivity to Jaisalmer.
