With a view to strengthening air connectivity and to promote high-end and time-sensitive tourism, the government has decided to operationalise regular flight services on the Delhi-Shimla and Shimla-Dharamsala routes. He added that the reliable air services to Shimla and Dharamsala would also strengthen administrative functioning, enable faster medical evacuations and ensure timely response during emergencies and natural disasters. The continued operation of these routes is a strategic infrastructure intervention aimed at promoting tourism and fostering long-term socio-economic growth. Subsidized regional air connectivity will benefit daily commuters, business travellers, and tourists alike. Additionally, helicopter services on the Sanjauli-Rampur-Reckong Peo and Sanjauli-Manali (SASE Helipad) routes would also be started soon.
