Mysuru: The jinxed Mandakalli airport is again getting a fresh lease of life. With the introduction of flight operations from Mysuru to Chennai from September, under the Regional Connectivity Scheme, known as UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagarik), there is new light at the end of the tunnel.
The stop-start affair has been going on and this is the fourth time that the effort is being made to give it a push. The operation was first introduced in March 2010. The defunct Kingfisher airlines had introduced the service but due to poor response, it discontinued the service in 2011. This was followed by Spice Jet and its flights began in January 2013 and ended in October 2014.
