Bengaluru, Apr 12: India's latest low-cost airline Air Pegasus on Sunday launched its maiden service to Hubballi in north Karnataka for providing air connectivity in the region.

Union Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju flagged off the ATR-72 turboprop service at the Bengaluru international airport in the presence of state Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister T.B. Jayachandra and others.

Hubballi, about 400 km from here, is a major commercial centre in the region, with a cluster of small and medium industries. Its twin city Dharwad is a major educational centre in the state.

"We will operate a daily flight between Bengaluru and Hubbali in the morning. The timings will be convenient to take connecting flights to other metros and cities from here," Air Pegasus managing director Shyson Thomas told reporters.

The city-based Decor Aviation Ltd, which secured permit from the regulator (DGCA) to fly across the southern region, will launch a daily service to Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala on Monday using an ATR aircraft.

"The new routes with a regional focus will help local business and boost tourism. We see huge potential for both business and leisure travel," union minister Raju said on the occasion.

The company has invested Rs.100 crore to launch the air service, with 3:1 equity-debt ratio.

The airline plans to add three more 66-seater ATR aircraft to the two such aircraft it has on dry lease by December.

"Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh will be our third destination from Bengaluru as it has no air connectivity. We will also launch a daily service between Chennai and Tuticorin and Tuticorin-Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu when we get the additional three ATRs," Thomas said.

Using the hub-and-spoke model, the airline plans to operate daily service to other cities and towns in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Telangana over the next two years.

The airline has permit to launch service to and from any of the 22 airports across southern India, connecting tier-two and tier-three cities with cities and metros like Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad.

Air Pegasus is the ninth carrier in the country and third new airline to launch service after Air Asia and Vistara during the past 12 months.

Karnataka BJP urges Modi govt to ban PFI, SDPI

News Network

January 29,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The Karnataka unit of BJP has urged the Centre and the State governments to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), accusing them of harbouring terrorist tendencies.

Addressing a press meet, N Ravi Kumar, state general secretary of the party, alleged that there was a nexus between the Congress, the PFI and the SDPI.

“Recent reports have exposed the links between the PFI and the Congress,” he said, accusing Congress leader Kapil Sibal of receiving huge funds from PFI to defend their cases in the Supreme Court.

He also accused the organisations as the ones responsible for the death of 23 Hindu activists in Karnataka. Such incidents have proven that both SDPI and PFI are dubious organisations, he said.

Comments

PFI is the first kind of organization which is doing community work in all the walks of life.

and providing the helping hands to all the Indian community doing marvelous job.

this is the first organization fighting against corrupt and injustice following the principle of our father of nation mahatma Gandhi’s.

the corrupt and injustice people in the society not ready to accept their policy and trying to stop the voices of justice to the society.

I wish PFI and its sub organizations will continue to support to the society and keep the good work so that people are with you.

Wah what a joke.

RSS is blamming others as terrorists.

Constitutionof RSS is a terrorism. Stupid Hegevar and Savarkar are the heroes of illiterate stupid community.

The whole intelligent community including European Uniion and US openly declared.

This is the sure end and downfall of RSS, which will never come-up again. You woke-up of peace lovers.

Thank you.

You people are never fit to run even a small village and how come thinking of ruling a big country.

RSS is the most active and first ever terrorist organisation in India and it should be banned first. There is no proof of terrorist activities by SDPI and PFI. BJP is afraid of these organisations as they give tought resistance to BJP and this is the reason why its planning to ban these organisations. BJP is doing propoganda only. Real thread for peace + harmoney in India by sanghis. We should ban them first.

June 23,2020

Bengaluru, Jun 23: Karnataka Congress leader and Kanakapura MLA DK Shivakumar said on Monday that in the wake of coronavirus pandemic, people of his assembly constituency have taken a unanimous decision of remaining under voluntary lockdown until July 1.

The decision was taken after he headed a meeting at Kanakapura on Sunday, at the office of Kanakapura Municipality.

"Let us consider the situation after July 1, hold a similar meeting, and take the next decision. It has nothing to do with the state government's mandate. It came to the conclusion that this was a decision that we all voluntarily took," said DK Shivakumar.

DK Shivakumar informed that the merchants have agreed to sell groceries, fruits, vegetables, fennel, meat and other food items from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. only. District authorities, DCs, SPs and hospital representatives have decided the timings of clinics and drug stores.

He further said, "In this self-motivated lockdown, unnecessary driving should be avoided. The social gap must be maintained. No one should be oppressed by anyone."

Member of Parliament DK Suresh, Ravi - Ramanagara District Collector Archana, SP Anoop Shetty, and Kanakapura Planning Authority Chairman Jagannath were also present in the meeting.
