The suspension of Alliance Air flight services from Jabalpur has triggered concern across the Mahakoshal region, with stakeholders terming it a major setback to connectivity and regional growth. The Vayuseva Sangharsh Samiti has urged the airline to restore operations at the earliest and introduce new routes from the city. Convener Himanshu Khare said Jabalpur is a key administrative, judicial, educational and commercial hub of Madhya Pradesh. The city also serves as a gateway to prominent tourist destinations such as Kanha and Bandhavgarh national parks, along with the world famous Bhedaghat. He said the discontinuation of flights has caused inconvenience not only to passengers but also to those associated with trade, tourism, education and healthcare sectors. Khare stated that Alliance Air has recently launched flights from Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh to Kolkata, Delhi and Bilaspur, where passenger traffic is comparatively lower.
In contrast, earlier flights from Jabalpur, especially on the Delhi and Jagdalpur routes, had recorded strong passenger load factors, indicating the viability of these sectors. Members including Manu Sharad Tiwari, Himanshu Rai and others have demanded immediate resumption of flight services from Jabalpur. They have also called for direct connectivity to major cities such as Pune, Kolkata, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Chennai, along with restoration of the Jabalpur-Jagdalpur route. Samiti members said that an emerging city like Jabalpur should not be neglected.
