Alliance Air to resume its Delhi-Shimla flights in September.

New Delhi: After a hiatus of two years, The Alliance Air Shimla-Delhi flight is all set to resume its services from September 06. The air carrier owned by Government of India will resume its flight operations in about a week and as a result it is likely to give a boost to Himachal tourism. The flight will depart from Delhi at 6.25am and reach Shimla at 7.35am. The return flight will start at 8am and land in Delhi at 9.10am. The introductory all-inclusive fare for Delhi-Shimla and Shimla-Delhi will be ₹2,480 per head.

Alliance Air’s Delhi-Shimla flight was started in 2017 but was stopped in 2020 as the airline’s lease for the smaller ATR 42 aircraft expired. Since then, the Shimla airport has only seen heli-taxi services or occasional chartered flights, reported Hindustan Times.

Yash Vardhan Singh of Alliance Air said that the airline will operate a fixed wing aircraft ATR 42-600 on the route and flights will be further extended to key tourist destinations of Kullu and Dharamshala. He said enhanced connectivity will help bolster tourism and trade and contribute to the state’s economic development.
