Guwahati: Pawan Hans will launch helicopter services on six routes connecting four major cities in Assam on Wednesday (February 8).
Helicopter services in six routes connecting four major cities of Assam will be launched by central PSU Pawan Hans Ltd on February 8, which are expected to boost trade and tourism.
These routes will be launched under the regional air connectivity scheme UDAN.
As per the official release said on Monday, connectivity on the Dibrugarh-Jorhat-Tezpur-Guwahati-Tezpur-Jorhat-Dibrugarh network will commence in this phase.
The official further said that the state will create ease of travel for the residents with the operationalisation of these routes of the region and give a boost to trade and tourism.
Meanwhile, in six states, Pawan Hans Ltd has awarded 86 routes under Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS).
Subsequently, the services will be operationalised in neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh, the official said.
However, the official added that the scheme is giving special impetus to providing air connectivity to the remote places of the northeastern states which have inadequate rail and road connectivity.
