AGARTALA, Oct 21 (TIWN): Renaming the whole Agartala Airport with Maharaja Bir Bikaram Kishore Manikya Airport and boasting about International Airport construction are not helping passengers as even though the previous CPI-M Govt started the International Airport project for Tripura, under Biplab Deb's Govt before international airport construction's completion, flight companies are quitting the state. After state had undergone a shock with SpiceJet service's closing, the most crowded Agartala-Kolkata, Kolkata-Agartala morning flights of Indigo will also stop service from Oct 21. This will not only increase the fares further but also to create problems for regular morning travelers. Already with SpiceJet's closing flight fares went high for Agartala passengers whereas with Indigo's closing of two flights will lead more costly flight fares. Amid poor revenue for decades both SpiceJet and Indigo had served Tripura, whereas with 7 months of BJP Govt Airport is almost in paralyzed situation and Modi's H for Highways, I for I-Ways, R for Railways, A for Airways is resulting just against the expectation of public.Right now, 180 seated Indigo 6E 139 carries passenger from Kolkata to Agartala everyday at 7 am whereas at 9 am Indigo 6E 833 leaves from Agartala for Kolkata. But with fog 'excuse', for now Indigo to stop both the flight services.

In 2019, April month there are chances that the flight service may start again for few months.  Flight fares hikes are more expected as already SpiceJet service has been stopped. This is the second flight service stopped in 2 months. 

Since BJP Govt came in power, flight service paralyzed in Tripura and flight fares have been increased more. However, the reason behind flights departures from state has remained unknown.
