Air India said today it has opened booking for its first flight under the Regional Connectivity Scheme to be operated on the Shimla-New Delhi route by its subsidiary Alliance Air.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to inaugurate the maiden flight under the government’s ambitious plan to provide connectivity to far and remote areas of the country.Over 45 unserved and under-served airports would be connected under the scheme- UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik)- that seeks to make flying more affordable.
Last year, Air India had received a rap from the Supreme Court for the lack of air connectivity to Shimla.
