The changes affect operations at Veer Surendra Sai Airport, a key aviation hub serving western Odisha. The suspension of the Mumbai route and reduced flight frequencies are expected to inconvenience regular travellers, including business passengers and those dependent on the airport for regional connectivity.
Passengers and local stakeholders have expressed concern that the revised schedule could weaken air access from the region, particularly on high-demand routes linking Jharsuguda with major metro cities.
The airport has played a crucial role in improving accessibility for western Odisha since its expansion, and the recent cuts are likely to affect travel convenience and regional mobility until further adjustments are made.
Further updates on flight rescheduling and connectivity restoration are awaited from the airline and aviation authorities.
