Decks have additionally been cleared for aircraft services to start between Hindon-Pithoragarh, Dehradun-Pithoragarh and Pantnagar-Pithoragarh. Confirming the development late on Wednesday, state government authorities named it as an "a big step to boost accessibility especially in the remote corners of the state.” “With many locations being connected through air, it will give a fillip to tourism and also help in checking the problem of migration," said a senior authority.

For choppers, the Union civil aviation ministry has likewise given a green flag for the Sahastradha-Gauchar, Sahastradha-routes, Haldwani-Dharchula and Haldwani-Haridwar courses.
