Odisha to Expand Flight Connectivity from January 2025

Odisha is set to boost its air connectivity, with direct flights to several new destinations launching from the first week of January 2025. The announcement was made by the Chief Minister’s Office on Monday through a post on X (formerly Twitter).

The Veer Surendra Sai Airport (VSSA) in Jharsuguda and the Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar will be the key hubs for the new flight services. Starting January 1, 2025, direct flights will connect Jharsuguda to Hyderabad, Raipur, Lucknow, and Mumbai.

“These additional connections will enhance regional and national connectivity, providing a significant boost to tourism, business, and trade in Odisha,” the CMO stated.

Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar, already a major gateway to the state, is also expected to see expanded services, though details on new destinations are awaited.

The development aligns with Odisha’s efforts to position itself as a major economic and cultural hub in eastern India. Improved air connectivity is anticipated to facilitate easier travel for business professionals, tourists, and residents, fostering economic growth in the region.

Travelers and industry experts have welcomed the move, praising the government’s focus on enhancing infrastructure and connectivity across the state.
