Subsidiary keeps N-E connected

Guwahati: The North-East has largely been unaffected by the Air India strike and remains connected within the region as well as with Kolkata through the national carrier's ATR fleet.
The ATR is managed by Alliance Air, a subsidiary of Air India. On Tuesday, an AI source said: "The ATR fleet has been operating in the region, as well as plying to Kolkata," adding that only two flights (bigger aircraft) from Delhi and Guwahati, as well as the return flights, were cancelled due to the strike.
But the ATR fleet connecting almost all state capitals of the region and major towns in the state with Guwahati continued its operations.
However, passengers bound for Delhi and Kolkata were in for a rude surprise when they arrived at the Guwahati airport on Tuesday. "We didn't know about the cancellation and now they say they don't have arrangements for cash at the airport for the refund," a harassed passenger said.
