In a positive development for regional connectivity, Bilaspur town in Chhattisgarh will soon have a direct flight service to Delhi starting on May 3. Operated by Alliance Air, the service will operate every Sunday from Bilasa Devi Kevat Airport, meeting the demand for seamless access to the national capital.
The flight is scheduled to depart Bilaspur at 6:45 P.M. and arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi at 9:25 P.M., providing travelers with a convenient evening travel option. This new route is expected to benefit professionals, students, and families who frequently travel to Delhi for various purposes.
The introduction of this flight service is a significant move towards enhancing Bilaspur’s position on India’s aviation map. The demand for a direct flight between Bilaspur and Delhi has been long-standing, with various groups advocating for improved air connectivity. This new service is seen as a response to these demands, bridging the gap between Chhattisgarh’s cultural hub and the nation’s political center.
Alliance Air’s decision to launch this weekly service reflects the airline’s commitment to expanding regional routes under the government’s UDAN scheme, aimed at making air travel more affordable and accessible to smaller cities. While the service begins with a weekly frequency, future expansion will depend on passenger response, potentially leading to more flights in the future.
The announcement of this new flight service has been well-received in Bilaspur, with residents hopeful that it will not only save time but also boost tourism and business exchanges. As the inaugural flight approaches, there is anticipation that this long-awaited connection will bring a new era of connectivity for the city and its residents.
