Bhubaneswar: Private flight operator IndiaOne Air has announced the addition of Sunday flights on its Utkela-Bhubaneswar route, offering passengers increased travel flexibility. The revised schedule, effective from September 15, 2024, will now operate on Sundays in addition to the existing services on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
The outbound flight from Utkela to Bhubaneswar will depart at 8:30 AM, arriving at 9:15 AM, with the return flight scheduled to leave Bhubaneswar at 9:30 AM and arrive in Utkela by 10:40 AM. This expansion is expected to offer more convenience to travelers in the Kalahandi region, allowing for greater flexibility in planning their journeys.
IndiaOne Air shared the news on its social media platform ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), stating, “Great news for our travelers!

The Utkela-Bhubaneswar flight service was first inaugurated in August 2023 by Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia via video conference, with the former Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik also in attendance. This new Sunday service further strengthens air connectivity in Odisha, particularly for those in the Kalahandi region.
