HISAR: The first
Chandigarh-Hisar
air taxi service, started under the Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik (RCS-Udan) scheme about seven months ago, has officially been stopped. The last flight operated by the company from Hisar was on August 3.
According to sources, the company has incurred a loss of about Rs 2 crore in the last six months in its Hisar project alone. Apparently, the company did not get any help from the government despite approaching it several times.
Chief minister
Manohar Lal Khattar had launched the service from Chandigarh on January 14, giving boarding passes to passengers.
Captain Poonam
and Captain Varun Suhag had flown the four-seater air taxi with Deep Singh Bawa and
Shubham Gaur as passengers from Chandigarh to Hisar. The fare from Hisar to Chandigarh was fixed at Rs 1,755.
MLA Dr Kamal Gupta did not respond when contacted regarding the matter. Even company director Varun Suhag refused to say anything on the matter.
