Earlier Bhubaneswar had blight connectivity to Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. Th Bangkok flights stopped in the 4th quarter of 2019 and the KL flights stopped during the pandemic. See https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing for the passenger numbers prior to that.

As per the latest news Odisha government has approved a bid by Indigo regarding connectivity to Bangkok, Singapore and Dubai. Following are excerpts from https://kalingatv.com/state/direct-inter...swar-soon/ .


Quote:Direct flight operation to international destinations Dubai, Singapore and Bangkok will commence soon from Bhubaneswar. The proposal got the nod of the State Cabinet today in the meeting.

As per reports, it was proposed in the cabinet that it is necessary to make Odisha a leading State in the field of international flight operations. ...

A RFP was floated for selection of a suitable airline operator in this matter. M/s lndiGo has applied for its operation through these routes.

As a result, 186 seater flights will be operated from BPI Airport, Bhubaneswar and the expenditure will be borne by the State Government towards this flight operation while the revenue generated through ticketing will be retained by State Government.
