In a bid to enhance tourism in Himachal Pradesh, the State Government is set to introduce a new flight route connecting Chandigarh, Kullu, and Dharamsala. Discussions were currently underway with airlines and other stakeholders to launch this route, which aims to improve accessibility between two of the State's major tourist destinations. The direct flight between Kullu and Dharamsala was anticipated to significantly benefit the tourism sector, addressing a longstanding demand from visitors.
CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu emphasized the government's commitment to attracting high-end tourists to the State. "Strengthening air connectivity was crucial to achieving our tourism goals and reducing travel time and costs for tourists is essential," he stated. He said that "Himachal Pradesh was blessed with breathtaking landscapes and has immense potential for tourism. Systematic development of tourism infrastructure would not only increase tourist footfalls but also bolster the local economy. The more tourists we attract, the more benefits would accrue to the people of the State."
Owing to the concerted efforts of the State Government, four flight routes were currently operational, linking various tourist destinations in Himachal Pradesh with other parts of the country.
