Airports are essential to a city’s advancement. The initiation of airport services usually signals growth in sectors like tourism and trade. However, this trend doesn’t seem to apply to Kanpur, an industrial city in Uttar Pradesh.
The problem is that the few flights available from Kanpur are often significantly more expensive than those from Lucknow, making it financially advantageous for travelers to fly from Lucknow.
Passengers also feel that despite the airport’s establishment in Kanpur, the limited flight options and lack of facilities render travel via Lucknow a more convenient and cost-effective choice.
