Will exert pressure to operate more flights to bring back stranded Kannadigas from Saudi Arabia: DVS
Mangaluru: "There should be at least two to three flights from Saudi Arabia to Karnataka (Bengaluru Airport or Mangaluru Airport) every week. That is my intention,” said Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers and former chief minister of Karnataka D V Sadananda Gowda.
He was speaking in a video conference organised by coastaldigest.com with Kannadiga delegates in Saudi Arabia.
“Today itself I will contact the external affairs ministry and Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to convince them the need to add operate flights to bring back stranded Kannaidgas from the Kingdom," Gowda added.
Responding positively to the advices, requests and concerns of Kannadiga delegates who participated in the video conference, Gowda said: “Two things need to be done. First thing is number of flights from Saudi Arabia to Karnataka should be increased. Second thing is to ensure that most of these flights land in the Mangaluru Airport as most of the Kannadiga expats in Saudi Arabia are from the coastal region.
