Shimla: With flights to and from Himachal Pradesh suspended for over three months, former union minister Virbhadra Singh Tuesday wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urging him to ask Air India to resume flights to the state.
"With Kingfisher and Air India suspending operations, the air link to the state has been completely disrupted," Singh wrote.
He said the airports at Bhuntar near Kullu, Gaggal near Kangra and Jubbarhatti near Shimla have not had any flight for months.
The five-time chief minister said the prolonged suspension of the flights has hit the hotel, tourism and local business.
Hoteliers of the tourist resort of Manali have reportedly written to the union tourism secretary seeking air connectivity to the state, but their efforts have yielded no results, he said.
