HAL, Alliance Air to link remote towns of Arunachal Pradesh

Paths are cleared for introduction of fixed-wing flight services to remote towns like Mechuka, Tuting, Ziro and Vijaynagar in Arunachal Pradesh.

In virtual presence of Chief Minister Pema Khandu, the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) signed an agreement with Alliance Air to lease out two ‘made in India’ Dornier DO-228, a 16 seater aircraft, for operation in Arunachal Pradesh under the central government’s UDAAN scheme.
