Commenting on the approval, Captain Jai S Sadana, Chief Adviser and Head, IRB Sindhudurg Airport, said, “The approval for 24×7 all-weather operations significantly enhances the airport’s reliability and operational capability.
This will encourage airline confidence, support sustained traffic growth, and contribute meaningfully to economic and tourism development across the Konkan region. We are grateful to the regulators, authorities and the government for their guidance and support.”
He added that further connectivity improvements are on the horizon. “The Mumbai–Sindhudurg route under the state regional connectivity scheme is also expected to commence in the coming months. This will further improve connectivity, making travel more convenient for residents of the Konkan region and welcome visitors from across India,” he said.
