Shillong: The Meghalaya government is looking into offers from private
airlines for flights between Shillong and Kolkata after the
government-owned Alliance Air stopped its services, a minister said
Monday.
"We have received offers from private airlines to operate flights between Shillong and Kolkata and the government is examining it," Transport Minister H.D.R. Lyngdoh told journalists.
Alliance Air, a subsidiary of national carrier Air India, stopped its services June 1 due to irregular payment of the viability gap funding by the North Eastern Council (NEC).
"We have also sought a status report from Alliance Air on its decision to withdraw services between Shillong and Kolkata," Lyngdoh said.
He said the state government would also take up the matter with the civil aviation ministry after receiving the report.
