Haryana Deputy Chief Minister, Mr. Dushyant Chautala said that air services will commence from Hisar Airport to various important cities in the country by April of this year. Today, he engaged in a detailed discussion with officials from Alliance-Air Company, and an MoU with the company is set to be signed soon.
The Deputy Chief Minister, who is also holding the portfolio of Civil Aviation Department, shared this information after presiding over a joint meeting with officials from Civil Aviation and Alliance-Air Company.
Mr. Dushyant Chautala said that the air connectivity in the state will operate on the concept of “State VGF (Viable Gap Funding),” ensuring that passengers do not incur extra fares. Initially, air travel will commence, with plans to deploy a 70-seater aircraft from Hisar Airport to connect routes like Chandigarh, Delhi, Jammu, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Kullu. The routes will undergo a review after the first 90 days, and based on passenger demand, flights will be expanded to include destinations such as Lucknow, Varanasi, and Ambala.
The Deputy Chief Minister said that with the introduction of air connectivity to Hisar, the region can expect growth in defense and other industries, ultimately serving as a substantial source of revenue for the state.
