Hyderabad: Trujet, a regional carrier promoted by Hyderabad-based Turbo Megha Airways, announced the addition of Bidar in Karnataka to its network of 'UDAN' services from Friday. Bidar will be connected to Bengaluru with a daily service, it said in a statement. Bidar will be the 24th station in Trujet's network.

More than 50 per cent of Trujet's flights fly to RCS airports (Regional Connectivity Scheme-UdeDeshKaAamNagrik - UDAN), the company said. Karnataka Chief Minister Yeddyurappa who inaugurated the service and travelled in the same flight to Bidar along with some ministers and other legislators said, ""We reached in Bidar in just one hour and 40 minutes, instead of the 12-hour travel by bus.

This service will help the development of "Kalyana Karnataka" in Bidar area." KV Pradeep, Director, Turbo Megha Airways, said: "Trujet has come a long way since our first flight on July 12, 2015. The air connectivity we provide to Tier 2 and 3 cities supports business and leisure travel growth to and from these cities. As air connectivity is both an economy-enabler and an employment growth engine, it will accelerate socio-economic development beyond the Tier 1 cities. We are proud to contribute to this growth."

Trujet will celebrate the launch of its latest station Bidar, and the arrival of spring, with a 4-day 'Spring Surprise' sale priced at a base fare of ₹699 across the network. With a fleet of seven ATR-72 aircraft, Trujet operates to 24 stations from three hubs.
