Dehradun–Pithoragarh Flight Launched, Travel Time Cut to 1 Hour
  • Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami officially flagged off the flight service from Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun to Naini Saini Airport in Pithoragarh.
  • The new air link reduces travel time between the state capital and the border district from an 11-hour road journey to a 60-minute flight.
  • The service is operated by FlyBig using a 19-seater aircraft, initially running three days a week (Monday, Tuesday, and Friday), with plans to increase frequency based on demand.
  • Officials say the connectivity will boost tourism in the Kumaon region and enable faster emergency medical transport for residents in remote hill areas.
  • The activation of Naini Saini Airport is seen as a strategic move to strengthen border infrastructure and improve access to the "Manaskhand" pilgrimage circuit.
