Namsai: Air connectivity in Arunachal Pradesh achieved yet another milestone on Sunday with paths being cleared for the introduction of fixed-wing flight services to remote towns like Mechuka, Tuting, Ziro and Vijaynagar.
The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in the virtual presence of Chief Minister Pema Khandu signed an agreement with Alliance Air to lease out two ‘Made in India’ Dornier DO-228, a 16-seater aircraft for operation in the landlocked areas of Arunachal Pradesh under the central government’s UDAAN scheme.
“It is a big leap in connectivity for Arunachal Pradesh,” Khandu observed while expressing gratitude to the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation, HAL and Alliance Air.
