Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that North East is fuelling India’s aviation.
Sarma said this after inaugurating flight operations by Alliance Air in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, and Mizoram.
He added that new flight operations in the Northeast will boost people-to-people contact, tourism, and trade in the region.
As a part of the new operations, Alliance Air will travel between Lilabari in Assam, Ziro in Arunachal Pradesh, Shillong in Meghalaya, Imphal in Manipur, and Mizoram.
The Alliance Air operations will “lead to greater air connectivity in Northeast, particularly between the states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Manipur, Sarma added.
He said, “I consider the launch of these air operations not just an extension of airline routes but more importantly a futuristic gesture, which will go a long way in promoting people-to-people contact, tourism, and trade.”
The Assam CM also said that Lilabari in the Lakhimpur district is an important corridor to the North east states.
