An airport’s presence is typically a sign of progress, often associated with growth in tourism and commerce. But for Kanpur, the industrial hub of Uttar Pradesh, this association doesn’t necessarily ring true.
The core issue is the high cost of flights departing from Kanpur, which often prompts travelers to opt for flights from Lucknow instead, as it proves to be the more economical choice.
Local travelers share the sentiment that despite the availability of an airport in Kanpur, the limited flight availability and supporting infrastructure make journeys through Lucknow a better option.
