Flight Cancellations Impact IXG JAN Load Traffic: Belagavi Airport Adapts Amidst Air Parade Practice
Belagavi Airport, a key aviation hub in Karnataka, witnessed a notable decrease in passenger traffic during January 2024, according to the latest monthly (IXG JAN Load) air traffic report released by the Airports Authority of India (AAI). The report indicates a 15.97 percent decline in passenger numbers compared to the previous month.
In January 2024, the total passenger count at Belagavi Airport stood at 29,614 (IXG JAN Load). Despite this decline, the airport recorded 544 aircraft movements and a slight uptick in cargo movement, reaching 4 metric tons.
The decrease in passenger numbers is attributed to the temporary cancellation of the Delhi-Belagavi-Delhi flight service. This cancellation occurred between January 19th and January 26th due to the Air Parade Practice conducted by the Indian Air Force in commemoration of the 75th Republic Day.
The absence of the Delhi-Belagavi-Delhi flight route, a vital link for travelers, significantly impacted passenger traffic during the specified period. However, the dip in passenger numbers is expected to be temporary, with normal operations set to resume following the conclusion of the Air Parade Practice.
