MYSORE: With the state government coming under fire after Kingfisher Airlines withdrawing its only flight service between Mysore and Bangalore, it will hold talks with airlines authorities and appeal for resumption of services.District Minister S A Ramdas said that Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda has invited them for talks on Thursday, to ensure that flight services resume following the Kingfisher Airline’s decision to withdraw services till March 2012. “The withdrawal of flight services was because the airline demanded the fulfilment of a few conditions, including release of subsidy. The demands will be met by the government,” the minister said.Meanwhile, MP A H Vishwanath said that the government should immediately release a portion of the assured subsidy of Rs 25 crore to Kingfisher Airlines. Accusing the government of having no commitment in promoting tourism and industries, he said that the cancellation of flight services will adversely affect industrial growth in Mysore. Adding that it is the duty of the state government to provide basic facilities at Mandakalli Airport, the MP said: “I will personally meet Vijay Mallya and request him to resume flight services to Mysore. I will also ask people from Spice Jet to extend operations to the city.”Congress MP R Druvaranayan said that he will urge the CM and Aviation Minister to step in to restore flight services to Mysore.
