Night flight services at Kalaburagi Airport are finally becoming a reality. Starting on February 22, Alliance Airlines will begin the night flight connecting Kalaburagi with Bengaluru on a trial basis.

The flight from Bengaluru is set to depart at 6:45 PM and touch down in Kalaburagi at 8:00 PM. Subsequently, the return journey will see the flight leaving Kalaburagi at 8:45 PM and reaching Bengaluru at 10:00 PM.

Alliance Airlines intends to operate a weekly night flight every Thursday initially, with plans to expand to daily services soon.
