Gwalior to get direct connectivity to Malaysia, Singapore, Bangkok, Sri Lanka

Gwalior News: Tour and Travel...Direct flights to Malaysia, Singapore, Bangkok, and Sri Lanka in just 8 hours. Now, explore the world! Gwalior connects to Indore, Kolkata, and Bengaluru with daily flights.

Good News: Currently, Gwalior's world-class airport only operates flights to four destinations, while the need is far greater. This is evident from the fact that flights from Gwalior to Delhi and Mumbai are almost 90% full daily. Students, businessmen, and entrepreneurs in the city feel a significant need for more flight options, as they need to complete their work efficiently and save time.

According to experts, if Gwalior gets three new flight connections to Kolkata, Indore, and Bengaluru, it would be possible to reach Malaysia, Singapore, Bangkok, and Sri Lanka within 7-8 hours via connecting flights from these cities. Gwalior airport is designed not just for 72-seater aircraft but for 180-seater flights.

Tourist Numbers to Increase

Tourists from South and East Indian states wish to visit Gwalior. However, most of these tourists land in Delhi and then travel to Jaipur via Agra. If flights from Gwalior commence, tourists will automatically start visiting Agra, Gwalior, and Jaipur first.

IITTM Assistant Professor Chandrashekhar Baruah stated that an increase in the number of flights from Gwalior will undoubtedly lead to a rise in tourist numbers. Many tourists are unable to reach Gwalior due to the lack of sufficient flight options.

Deepak Agrawal, the honorary secretary of the MP Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that businessmen and entrepreneurs need to complete their work quickly. If adequate flight connections to all parts of the country are available, it will be more convenient for them.
