Regional airline TruJet has suspended all flight operations. The airline has been a forefront player in the government’s regional connectivity scheme of UDAN.
Turbo Megha (TruJet) had the following routes under UDAN:
Belagavi to Kadappa
Belagavi to Mysuru
Belagavi to Hyderabad
Belagavi to Tirupati
Now with the company suspending operations, Belagavi has lost connections to Kadappa and Mysuru.
StarAir has a flight to Tirupati and Hyderabad is connected by Spicejet and Indigo.
So we have lost two connections and are currently connected to 15 cities.
The Company did not list its operations for the Summer schedule released today. Also, no other new routes have been announced in the Summer Schedule for IXG.
“The operations are temporarily hampered because of various administrative and technical reasons and rest be assured that TruJet will resume its operations at short notice,” the airline said in a statement.
The airline has been facing a financial crisis since 2020 and was also in discussions with Interups fund from the US for a potential investment in 2021.

* Currently all Trujet operations remain suspended
Belagavi loses nothing. Rather its citizens will save a lot of money that used to get spent on last minute booking of other carriers due to Trujet’s frequent cancellation of flights. It’s a blessing that Trujet has suspended operations.
