Air India’s wholly owned subsidiary Alliance Air will commence flight operations from Bilaspur to Delhi from March 1, 2021.

The flight service will be operated between the two cities via the option of either Jabalpur or Allahabad.

Accordingly, the airline will deploy ATR 72 600 aircraft having a seating capacity of 70 seats for the route.

The airline said in a statement, “These new flights will now connect Bilaspur to Jabalpur, Allahabad and Delhi, while further connecting to the rest of the country over Delhi.

“Bilaspur has many tourist attractions like Bhakra Dam which receives a large footfall from nature lovers. These flights will add to the convenience of travelers and tradesmen boosting economic development in the region."

Under the Centre’s flagship regional connectivity scheme (RCS), flights are scheduled to be operated by Alliance Air between Bareilly and Delhi from March 8, every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The airline will also begin two flights from Prayagraj connecting Delhi and Bilaspur, from March 1 under RCS. The flights would operate on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. In both cases, the airline would be using ATR 72 aircraft. Bareilly would be the eighth airport in the state to get functional after the ones in Lucknow, Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Kanpur, Hindon, Agra and Prayagraj.

Civil Aviation Secretary Surendra Singh said the state government has spent around Rs 83 crore on construction of a civil enclave in Bareilly. This is apart from the around 35 acres of land which has been made available to Airports Authority of India (AAI) free of cost and Rs 9.8 crore for ensuring dedicated power supply, he said.
