The wait of people waiting for air service from Dehradun to Pithoragarh may end next month.
Yes, this air service can start next month. Under this service included in this flight scheme, one-way fare can be up to four thousand. This time people are expected to get relief from the operation of 19 seater aircraft. Let us tell you that this air service has been closed for a long time. The state government is trying to restart the Dehradun-Pithoragarh air service which has been closed for a long time. In this sequence, the Central Government has selected Flybig to provide service here. The company’s website shows Dehradun, Pantnagar and Pithoragarh as destinations. The company’s 19 seater aircraft has already reached Dehradun airport a month ago.
According to the Uttarakhand Civil Aviation Development Authority, the aircraft will fly from Jollygrant Airport to Pithoragarh at 8.30 am, then reach Pantnagar from it. The return will also be from Pantnagar to Pithoragarh and then from there to Dehradun. Talking about the fare, the fare is not likely to be higher than last time. The authority is expecting the maximum one-way fare from Dehradun to Pithoragarh to be up to Rs 4,000. Air service had started earlier also between Dehradun-Pithoragarh. Which was started by the Heritage Company, but after operating the flight for a few days, the service was discontinued due to bad weather and many other reasons. Now once again Pithoragarh is going to connect with air service. Flybig will start air service for Dehradun-Pithoragarh in the first phase. After this, it is being considered to start flights from Jolly Grant Airport to Pantnagar, Gauchar and Hindon (Ghaziabad) under the UDAN scheme.
