“We are committed to connecting Uttarakhand with global air networks. Enhanced air services in the hills will serve as a lifeline during emergencies and natural disasters,” said Mr. Dhami.

Cultural Highlight: Apad Art Adorns the Aircraft

Adding a local cultural touch, the Air India Express aircraft flying to Bengaluru was decorated with Apad art, showcasing Uttarakhand’s rich heritage.
