Alliance Air has submitted a proposal to the North Eastern Council (NEC) and the Centre for increasing its fleet, dedicated for operations in the region, from four to six, says a UNI report.
The proposal has been submitted to the NEC and the Department of North Eastern Region (DONER) for expanding our fleet to six with enhanced support’, according to Alliance Air MD Deepak Brara said at the Third North Eastern Business Summit here.
The airline currently operates four ATR turbo-prop aircraft dedicated to the North Eastern region.
Alliance also operates to all the 11 airports, which were operational in the region. According to Brara, Alliance Air alone operates a total of about 120 services to and from as well as within the region, while all private airlines put together operated about 130 flights.
The growth in capacity (of air traffic) has been restricted only to two routes of Delhi-Guwahati and Kolkata- Guwahati, he said, adding that without these routes, private enterprise has not entered the North East in a big way.
He said there was a monopoly of air services in the North East mainly because the private sector was not operating there.
Government support would continue to be required to enhance connectivity in the region as the private sector will operate only on routes which were profitable, Brara said.
