Srinagar/Jammu, Aug. 23 -- In a major push to expand air connectivity, Ladakh will soon have two more airports operating civilian and commercial flights in addition to Leh. These flights will operate from Thoise airport in Nubra Valley and Kargil airport, Ladakh lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena said on Saturday.

The meeting focused on resolving infrastructure, regulatory and operational issues to enable early commencement of civilian flights from the strategically and socio-economically important airports, which will significantly boost regional connectivity in the border areas.

The programme will be formally rolled out on September 17....
