An Air Deccan flight from Agartala, Tripura, landed at the Umroi Airport (Shillong, Meghalaya) on Thursday. The flight was operated on a trial run basis by Air Deccan, which in December last year restarted scheduled air services after a gap of nearly a decade. Thursday's flight from Agartala to Shillong is part of the government's regional connectivity scheme UDAN or 'Ude Desh Ka Aam Naagrik' (flight for every citizen of the nation). The Agartala-Shillong flight was operated by an 18-seater B190 aircraft, manufactured by US-based Beechcraft. Air Deccan also operated test flights to Agartala and Dimapur on the same day.
