This story is shared on the Twitter handle of the Bilaspur Airport awareness campaign.

In a recent exchange with BAAC, several concerns were raised regarding the lack of promotion and awareness surrounding air travel services from Bilaspur. It was highlighted that both the state government and PWD have not taken proactive measures to promote services from Bilaspur Airport. Despite navigation boards in Raipur prominently displaying directions to the airport, similar efforts have been intentionally neglected in Bilaspur.

The user recounted an incident involving their friend, who works as a doctor at CIMS Bilaspur. Despite being unaware of flights to Kolkata, the user informed their friend about them, highlighting a lack of awareness among many. Consequently, their friend mistakenly booked tickets from Raipur instead of Bilaspur. This incident underscores the necessity for increased awareness regarding transportation options and destinations among professionals in the region.

Furthermore, The inadequate advertising budget allocated to Alliance Air exacerbates the issue, leaving millions unaware of new flight options. This collective response underscores the urgent need for concerted efforts from authorities and airlines to promote and increase awareness of air travel services from Bilaspur, ensuring equitable access for all residents.
