SRINAGAR: With GoAir successfully conducting its first trial night operation from Srinagar International Airport to Delhi on Friday, SIA authorities are hopeful that all airlines will operate night flights from the airport after final approval from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) next week.
SIA director Santosh Dhoke said: “Today (Friday) GoAir started its trial night flight at 8.30pm from Srinagar airport to Delhi, and it was a successful one. IndiGo is likely to do the same tomorrow (Saturday).”
Dhoke said the air-safety teams of GoAir and IndiGo had on Thursday requested DGCA for operating trial night flights from Srinagar, before sending their reports to the aviation regulator. “DGCA is expected to give its final approval for night flight operations from Srinagar airport next week,” he added.
