Overview
- The Ladakh administration says daily flights at Leh’s Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport have increased from eight to 18.
- An official spokesman says two additional Air India flights have been approved and are expected to begin soon.
- The schedule now includes two charter services to Delhi and Chandigarh and regular links to Delhi, Mumbai, Srinagar and Chandigarh.
- The new terminal building at Leh airport is nearing completion and is expected to expand passenger handling and improve the travel experience.
