Bengaluru, 21st May 2026: Star Air, the aviation arm of the Sanjay Ghodawat Group, has announced the relaunch of its direct flight service with six weekly flights connecting Hyderabad, Jharsuguda, and Bhubaneswar, further strengthening its expanding regional network and enhancing vital air links between key economic and cultural centres in South and East India. This renewed service links Hyderabad, India’s technology and commercial powerhouse, with Jharsuguda, Odisha’s prominent industrial hub, and Bhubaneswar, the state capital renowned for its rapid development in business, infrastructure, and tourism.
The corridor is expected to significantly benefit business and corporate travellers, industrial stakeholders, tourists, and residents alike by improving accessibility, supporting regional trade, and reducing overall travel times between these high-growth destinations.
Located in two of India’s most dynamic regions, this South-East air corridor is poised to unlock new economic and business opportunities. Hyderabad leads the way in technology and innovation, Jharsuguda anchors Odisha’s industrial output, and Bhubaneswar is fast emerging as a centre for commerce, education, and tourism. Enhanced connectivity will make it easier for companies to expand, attract investment, and for people to travel for work, business, or leisure, ultimately fuelling local economies and fostering stronger ties between Telangana and Odisha.
