Jammu: Flight operations between Leh and Jammu, capital cities of union territories of Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir, have resumed after remaining suspended for months due to the coronavirus pandemic, officials said on Friday.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation had suspended domestic passenger flights across the country in March this year to restrict travel and check the spread of the virus. Paying heed to a request by the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), the Ministry of Civil Aviation resumed Air India flight operations between Leh and Jammu sectors from Thursday, the officials said.
The flights will operate every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday, they said. The resumption of flights between Leh and Jammu will also be beneficial for a number of students and patients, they added. ( PTI )
