| 11 July 2017 |
| RAJKOT/SURAT: Low-cost airlines operator SpiceJet on Monday began its daily Mumbai flights from Kandla and Porbandar under the Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik (UDAN) scheme of the union government. The company also launched a direct flight each to Hyderabad and Mumbai from Surat. The flight connectivity between Kandla and Mumbai has come as a huge relief for common people and industrialists Kutch, who were earlier forced to go to Bhuj or drive all the way to Ahmedabad and catch Mumbai flights. The first flight from Mumbai that took off at 1:10pm landed at Kandla airport at 2:30pm to the traditional water cannon salute welcome. The 78-seater Bombardier Q400 aircraft will take off from Kandla at 3:10pm and reach Mumbai at 4:50pm. Under the UDAN scheme, 50% of the seats will be offered at Rs 2,500 while the remaining at market rate.
