What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Shivamogga Airport, which has been operational for three years, is likely to have no flight operations starting November 21. StarAir, the only airline currently operating from the airport, has not opened bookings for that date, suggesting it may suspend services. This potential halt follows the withdrawal of services by IndiGo and SpiceJet from the airport.
