Mumbai, November 14, 2026: Flight services between Sindhudurg's Chipi airport and Navi Mumbai will resume daily from November 16, according to Guardian Minister Nitesh Rane. The new Fly91 service aims to boost tourism in Sindhudurg and create employment opportunities for local residents. Rane pointed out that the Chipi airport was established under the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) in 1999, following a declaration by then-minister Narayan Rane that Sindhudurg was to be a tourism district.
However, flight operations were halted due to technical issues. The state government has now provided viability gap funding to ensure the airport's long-term viability and the continuation of daily flights. Rane expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister Akhilesh Shinde, and other officials for their support.
He also encouraged local youth to pursue careers in tourism-related businesses, noting that improved air connectivity would enhance the district's tourism potential.
