IA to lease 6 aircraft

NEW DELHI: The Indian Airlines board on Thursday approved leasing of six more ATR-42 aircraft for its subsidiary Alliance Air in a bid to enable it to serve more short sector regional routes. The board's clearance came as part of its approval of recommendations of the Committee of Officers, which studied the feasibility of extending domestic operations to regional routes. The committee recommended 50-seater operations to 18 new destinations that include stations as diverse as Cooch Behar, Agatti, Gwalior, Ludhiana, Kanpur, Dehra Doon, Nasik, Simla, Surat and Jaisalmer. The hub and spoke pattern of operations will have bases in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. The board considered it appropriate that Alliance Air should undertake these operations with similar aircraft type as was currently in use — ATR-42-320. — Our Special Correspondent
