IndiaOne Air Extends Jamshedpur Flights to Kolkata and Bhubaneswar Under RCS Scheme
IndiaOne Air will continue flights from Jamshedpur to Kolkata and Bhubaneswar following an RCS extension, strengthening regional connectivity and tourism growth.
IndiaOne Air has confirmed the continuation of its flights from Jamshedpur to Kolkata and Bhubaneswar following an extension of India’s Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS), reinforcing efforts to improve air access to underserved markets.
The extension ensures the airline can maintain essential links between Jamshedpur and two key eastern Indian cities, supporting both business and leisure travel. The services play a critical role in connecting Jharkhand with major economic and administrative centres, reducing travel time and improving accessibility.
Officials have highlighted that the continued operation of these routes is expected to provide a boost to local tourism and economic activity. Improved air connectivity supports trade, investment and mobility, particularly for industrial hubs such as Jamshedpur.
Under the RCS, airlines receive viability gap funding and other incentives to operate routes that may otherwise be commercially challenging. IndiaOne Air has positioned itself as a key regional carrier, focusing on short‑haul routes that strengthen India’s domestic aviation network.
Aviation analysts note that sustained government support remains crucial for the long‑term success of regional air services. Consistency in route availability helps build passenger confidence and encourages steady demand growth.
The continuation of Jamshedpur services also aligns with broader national goals of enhancing last‑mile connectivity and ensuring balanced regional development. As passenger awareness and utilisation increase, such routes are expected to move closer to long‑term commercial sustainability.
With the RCS extension in place, IndiaOne Air is set to maintain its presence in eastern India’s regional aviation market, contributing to stronger inter‑city connectivity and supporting the government’s vision of inclusive air travel.
