The Alliance Air, a subsidiary of Air India, is likely to commence flight services from the Veer Surendra Sai Airport in Jharsuguda to Kolkata from March 1, informed an official of the airport on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, a four-member team of the airline visited the airport and inspected its infrastructure, security system and passenger amenities.
Notably recently, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had granted approval to the Alliance Air to operate flights from Jharsuguda to Kolkata, Bhubaneswar and Raipur.
