The air connectivity of Madhya Pradesh's Vindhya region is set for a major upgrade with the launch of a direct flight service connecting Rewa and Indore. The new route will be officially inaugurated on December 22 at Rewa's airport, marking a significant step in improving regional accessibility.
Flight Schedule and Operational Details
Leading carrier IndiGo will operate the route using an ATR-72 aircraft. As per the announced schedule, the flight will depart from Indore at 11:30 am and arrive in Rewa at 1:15 pm. The return journey will commence from Rewa at 1:35 pm, heading back to Indore. This regular service is expected to become a vital link for daily commuters and travellers.
High-Profile Inauguration and Immediate Benefits
The inaugural ceremony will witness the presence of key dignitaries, including Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla and Urban Development Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya. In a symbolic showcase of the service's utility, Vijayvargiya will travel from Indore to Rewa with a delegation of over 40 members. On the return leg, Deputy CM Shukla will fly from Rewa to Indore alongside more than 70 passengers.
Officials highlight that the service will primarily benefit residents of Rewa, Satna, Sidhi, Shahdol, Mauganj, and adjoining districts. It will cater to thousands of people from the Vindhya region who live, work, or study in Indore, providing them with a fast and reliable travel option.
Boosting Economy and Enhancing Onward Travel
This new air link is projected to significantly strengthen trade, tourism, and economic activities between the Vindhya region and Indore, a major commercial hub. Beyond the direct connection, the service offers seamless onward connectivity from Indore's airport to other major Indian cities.
