In view of record growth in air passenger traffic at the Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA) here, the AirAsia is planning to launch next international flights to Colombo and Bangkok from Bhubaneswar after its Kuala lumpur operation.
The AirAsia has sent a proposal to the Odisha Government seeking its permission to operate flights to two international destinations, Sri lankan capital Colombo and Thailand capital Bangkok, in coming days, informed State Tourism and Culture Minister Ashok Chandra Panda here on Tuesday.
Presently, the low-cost carrier AirAsia is operating daily flight services to Kuala lumpur from Bhubaneswar, for which the State Government is providing subsidy.
Following successful flight operation of Kuala lumpur-Bhubaneswar flights, the AirAsia is targeting other international destinations from the city.
