Airlines to fly to 31 new cities this year
The cool hills of Kullu and Shimla will soon be just a short flight away from the sizzling plains of Delhi. Jaisalmer’s sand dunes will also be a hop away for Delhiites planning a winter vacation later this year. As many as 128 unconnected-by-air city pairs will get flights between April and September under the first phase of the Centre’s affordable regional connectivity scheme.
Five carriers — SpiceJet, Air India’s subsidiary Alliance Air, Air Deccan, Air Odisha and Turbo Megha — will operate on these routes, putting 31 unserved airports on the national flight map apart from utilising 12 under-served airports, the aviation ministry said on Thursday.
