(Dr Mahesh Sharma)

(a) & (b) : Presently, scheduled domestic airlines are operating from 78 airports within the country including M.P and U.P as per summer schedule, 2015.  It  includes some of the small cities/remote areas/religious and historical places in the country (Annexure 1)

(c) to (e) : In the approved Summer Scheduled  2015,  Jet Airways is operating 7 flights per week from/to Bhavnagar.

It is, however,  up  to  the airlines  to  provide  air  services  to specific  places depending upon the traffic specific demand and  commercial  viability. As   such,  the airlines are free to operate anywhere in the country subject   to   compliance   of Route DispersalGuidelines(RDG).
