Necon Air resumed direct flights to Patna on Sunday and the company says it will also re-start flights to Kolkata and Varanasi in coming months. The hop to Patna will use Necon's 17-seater Beech 1900 aircraft and not the larger ATRs. Necon stopped flying its ATRs to Patna last year after passenger numbers nose-dived. The company has two ATRs and two Beech 1900s to service its seven domestic routes and the resumed and new Indian destinations.
