In a press statement, the airline mentioned, "With this introduction, the airline reinforces its presence in Uttar Pradesh, with Gorakhpur becoming the fifth destination in the state, following Lucknow, Varanasi, Ayodhya, and Prayagraj." It further added that bookings for the flights are now accessible on its website, app, and through travel agents.
