Alliance Air is an Indian regional airline and a wholly owned subsidiary of Air India. It was founded in 1996 and mainly operates domestic routes as part of the government's Regional Connectivity Scheme.
History[edit]
Alliance Air was founded in April 1996 as a subsidiary of Indian Airlines.[3][4] The parent company wished to make better use of its Boeing 737 fleet, so it wet-leased 12 of these aircraft to Alliance Air.[5] The subsidiary operated its first flight on 15 April 1996. Alliance Air served as a low-cost feeder airline for Indian Airlines, providing connections to the latter's hubs from various smaller cities across the country. In 2002 the airline was offering flights to 44 destinations in India utilizing a fleet of 11 Boeing 737-200s.[3]
Destinations[edit]
Alliance Air operates to 47 destinations in India as of January 2021. It operates regional services in India through its hubs in Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai.[6] The airline started its first international flight from Chennai to Jaffna on 11 November 2019 but temporarily had to halt operations from Chennai due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
