Awesome a relief for us to travel to n fro at ease
It’s a welcome beginning. We hope the other destinations will also be linked with the Belagavi soon.
I once again congratulate the all stakeholders for making UDAN 3 Scheme a reality today and will soon catch-up the other 13 flights schedule already approved.
This will help Belagavites in general and defence personals and students community in particular .
I would like to congratulate hon’ble MP & Chairman Chancellor of KAHER KLE University, Dr Prabhakar Kore, who left no stone unturned to get the UDAN 3 scheme sanctioned by the Central Government and making it operationalised since today.A dream come true.Best of luck to the operating airlines too.
Hope there are RTC buses between CBT and Airport. Else Rickshaw and Cabs will ripoff passengers.
