Union Minister Jyotiraditya M. Scindia announced the upcoming launch of regular flight services by Akasa Air connecting Gwalior with Delhi and Bengaluru from the Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Airport in Madhya Pradesh. These new services, Gwalior–Delhi–Bengaluru and Bengaluru–Delhi–Gwalior, aim to enhance connectivity in the Gwalior-Chambal region, providing faster access to major cities for passengers. The initiative is expected to boost opportunities in trade, industry, education, and employment.
Scindia expressed confidence that linking the region to national-level air facilities through a modern airport will significantly contribute to Gwalior’s overall development. Akasa Air recently joined Air India and IndiGo in implementing a fuel surcharge on its flights due to increasing aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices influenced by geopolitical changes in the Middle East. The surcharge, ranging from Rs 199 to Rs 1,300 on domestic and international routes, will be applicable to bookings made after 12.01 a.m. on March 15, 2026, while existing bookings remain unaffected.
