The presence of an airport is often seen as a catalyst for a city’s growth, stimulating both tourism and business. Yet, in Kanpur, a city once celebrated as the ‘Manchester of the East,’ this doesn’t quite hold true.
The limited and often expensive flight options from Kanpur force many travelers to seek flights from Lucknow, where costs are frequently lower.
Many passengers find that while the airport in Kanpur is operational, the lack of sufficient flights and amenities leads them to prefer the convenience and affordability of traveling through Lucknow.
