Under the Uttarakhand Air Connectivity Scheme, air service is being operated between Delhi and Pithoragarh, while heli service is being operated from Sahasradhara to Gauchar and Sahasradhara to Joshiyara in Dehradun. On the instructions of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, the Civil Aviation Department has decided to connect other districts with heli and air services as well. In this episode, steps are now being taken to connect four cities of Kumaon division with the capital Dehradun and one city with Haldwani. These heli services will be operated from Dehradun to Bageshwar, Haldwani to Bageshwar, Dehradun to Nainital, Dehradun to Srinagar and Dehradun to Pauri. Heli service was also operated from Dehradun to Srinagar earlier under the Regional Connectivity Scheme, but after the end of the scheme, this service is also closed.
