To strengthen Karnataka’s regional connectivity, Star Air launches its new regional destination Bidar from Bengaluru. The non-stop flight began its flight operations from today and will be its 18th destination. With only limited flights flying to the architectural and religious city of Bidar, Star Air is proud to have the honour of flying passengers to the ‘City of Whispering Monuments.’ Famous for its Bidri handicrafts, rich history, and religious significance to the Sikh community, Bidar has transformed itself into a confluence of urban development and cultural heritage.

With this launch, Star Air will operate its Embraer 145 jets to the cool and picturesque hills of Bidar, making it the perfect destination for a getaway holiday.
