Rudrapur: To cater to unserved regions, Air India is set to begin its operations between Pantnagar and Dehradun on December 19 under ‘Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik’ - a regional connectivity scheme (UDAN-RCS). Air India’s inaugural RCS service will see it connect the state capital with Pantnagar and Delhi, four times a week.
“This flight route was earlier assigned to a private airlines company which failed to start the operations and later given to the second highest bidder, Air India,” said SK Singh, director of Pantnagar airport.

Going onward, flight 9I 823 will depart from Dehradun at 13.40 hrs (IST), arriving at Pantnagar at 14.30 hrs (IST). On its return, flight 9I 824 will depart from Pantnagar at 15.05 hrs (IST) and land in the state capital Dehradun at 15.55 hrs (IST).
