Alliance Air plans more services to Arunachal Pradesh
20th May 2011 The Union Ministry of Civil Aviation has decided to increase the services of Alliance Air (AA) to Lilabari and Tezpur in Arunachal Pradesh, according to Hindu Business Line. The decision to increase AA flights has been taken due to no-operation of Pawan Hans Helicopter services to Arunachal Pradesh.
In a statement, the Ministry has said that AA will operate five frequencies a week on the Kolkata-Guwahati-Lilabari-Guwahati-Kolkata sector. In addition there will be two frequencies a week on the Guwahati-Tezpur-Jorhat-Guwahati sector. Besides, there will be one frequency every week on the Guwahati-Lilabari-Tezpur-Guwahati route.
The decision not to operate helicopter services of Pawan Hans was taken in the back drop of two helicopter crashes in the recent past.
