New flight links Mumbai and Gwalior

DELHI, 22 November 2022: India’s Union Minister of Civil Aviation, Shri Jyotiraditya M Scindia inaugurated the Gwalior-Mumbai-Gwalior flights last week

He said the direct route from Mumbai to Gwalior would “enhance connectivity and promote trade, commerce, and tourism between the two cities.”

He described Gwalior as a “storehouse of history and culture”, noting the inauguration of direct flights from the commercial capital of Mumbai would support the Prime Minister’s vision of connecting every corner of the country through air services.

In addition to its historical and cultural attractions, Gwalior can develop into an industrial hub in its own right. The minister explained that the new air route will provide a time-saving travel option to citizens and promote new employment opportunities.
