Alliance Air to start Delhi-Bhatinda flight

To boost regional connectivity, Alliance Air will start flight services from the national capital to Bhatinda, Punjab, from December 11.
The airline, a wholly-owned subsidiary of national carrier Air India, would have the services thrice a week -- Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
Seventy-seater ATR-72 aircraft would be utilised for the services.
"The flight will depart from Delhi at 1215 hours and reach Bathinda at 1345 hours. The return flight 9I 622 will fly out from Bathinda at 1415 hours and will reach Delhi at 1545 hours," Air India said in a release.
It would be a boon for the city as currently there is no air connectivity offered to passengers from Bhatinda, the release said.

Alliance Air, which flies to Tier- II and Tier -III cities, has a fleet of eight ATR-72 and two ATR-42 aircraft. Currently, it operates flights to 33 destinations, including Allahabad, Bengaluru, Bhavnagar, Dharamshala, Gorakhpur, Shillong and Silchar.
