Guwahati: The Union Minister for Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia inaugurated a number of flights to improve air connectivity in the northeastern region.
Increased connectivity in India’s northeastern area will promote trade and tourism there and aid in the states’ economic development.
IndiGo will run the Itanagar-Mumbai service through Kolkata. On November 28, the flying operation started.
The first Alliance Air flight between Dibrugarh and Itanagar-Ziro commenced on November 29.
Alliance Air started operating the Dibrugarh-Itanagar-Pasighat flight on November 30.
Scindia stated in his inaugural speech that past administrations had been hopeful, but little had been put into action. The Modi administration has given the Northeastern states unparalleled priority over the past eight years.
The prime minister has a goal of bringing air travel to every part of the nation, and we are working with each state to make that goal a reality. The advanced landing grounds in the outlying regions of tier 2 and tier 3 cities will also be connected, in addition to the major cities.
Jyotiraditya Scindia appreciated the Arunachal Pradesh state administration for lowering the VAT on ATF and claimed that it has led to a sharp rise in air connectivity.
He gave the assurance that sophisticated landing sites would be connected not just to big cities but also to outlying locations. He also guaranteed that connections between Vijay Nagar, Mechuka, and Tuting are being built and will happen shortly.
Arunachal Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein, Arunachal Pradesh’s Minister of Civil Aviation, Tourism, and Transport Nakap Nalo, and Lok Sabha MP Tapir Gao were among the distinguished guests in attendance at the inauguration. Other notable attendees included the MoS for Civil Aviation and Road Transport and Highways, General (Dr) V. K. Singh (Retd.), the Union Minister of Law and Justice, Kiren Rijiju, the MoS for Petroleum and Natural Gas and Labour and Employment Rameswar Teli.
