The airport currently operates nine flights which will be 14 beginning March 27.

According to airport officials, two flights each for Mumbai and Delhi will start operation from March 27. Currently there are four flights to Mumbai, which will now be increased to six and three to Delhi which will now be five per day. This airport already has flights connecting to Bengaluru and Goa.
