Srinagar, Feb 19 (IBNS) Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday waved the flag “as a landing signal” to first AirAsia flight that touched down at the Srinagar airport.

“The inaugural flight from New Delhi was received by the Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti at the Srinagar International Airport. Later another flight to New Delhi was also seen off by the Chief Minister soon after,” an official spokesman of the low-cost airline said.
