The airline plans to introduce flights between Pasighat, Tezu, Ziro, Mechuka and Tuting in Arunachal Pradesh. Alliance Air’s Dibrugarh Station Manager Narsing Rao Meesala said on Monday.
An inaugural flight has been planned by Alliance Air in the sector Dibrugarh–Lilabari–Pasighat– Guwahati on April 12 with Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on board the inaugural Dornier 228 flight (DO228).
