VIPs, some of whom are MPs and MLAs, will travel on the inaugural trip, but their names have been withheld for security reasons.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“There are no more seats available on our 1st flight (S5-117) from Bengaluru Airport <\/a>to Kalaburagi. So We want our guests to experience the wonderful Terminal 2 because these are business aircraft operated under the Regional Connectivity Scheme. Consequently, we’ve chosen to move all of our activities here “said CA Boppanna, Star Air’s head of airport services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
