Leh, Apr 5: The Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Vinai Kumar Saxena, on Sunday said that flight operations at Leh airport have been increased from eight to 18 per day to boost air connectivity ahead of the peak tourism season.
LG Saxena said two more flights are expected to begin operations soon, providing greater flexibility for visitors to plan their journeys.
“Ladakh is all set to welcome a larger number of visitors than before. Pleased to announce a major boost to air connectivity with Leh, as the tourist season begins in Ladakh,” the LG said in a post on X.
