History


Alliance Air was founded in April 1996 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Indian Airlines (merged with Air India in 2011).[3][4] The parent company wished to make better use of its Boeing 737 fleet, so it wet-leased 12 of these aircraft to Alliance Air.[5] The subsidiary operated its first flight on 15 April 1996. Alliance Air served as a low-cost feeder airline for Indian Airlines, providing connections to the latter's hubs from various smaller cities across the country. In 2002 the airline was offering flights to 44 destinations in India utilizing a fleet of 11 Boeing 737-200s.[3] On 1 April 1997, Vayudoot Airlines, a joint venture of Air India and Indian Airlines Merged with Alliance Air to serve the regional air routes of Northeast India and several other parts of India.

Alliance Air began operating its first scheduled international flight from Chennai to Jaffna on 11 November 2019.[6] Alliance Air announced that it had recorded an operating profit for the first time in its history during the 2019-20 fiscal year. The airline made an operating profit of ₹65.09 crore (US$8.2 million), but still ended the period with a net loss of ₹201 crore (US$25 million). The airline stated that it had adopted the new IND AS 116 accounting standard, and would have actually recorded a net profit of ₹37 crore (US$4.6 million) under the previous standard.[7]

Alliance Air's parent company, Air India Limited, was sold to Tata Sons on 8 October 2021.[8][9] Alliance Air was not a part of the deal, and was instead transferred to Air India Asset Holdings Ltd (AIAHL), a state-owned special purpose vehicle that holds Air India's remaining assets and liabilities. The Economic Times reported that the government also intended to sell Alliance Air and use the proceeds to pay down AIAHL's debt.[10] Alliance Air was valued at around ₹2,000 crore (US$250 million).[11]

Alliance Air signed an agreement with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to lease two 17-seater Dornier 228 aircraft in September 2021. The first aircraft was delivered to Alliance Air on 7 April 2022.[12] The Dornier 228 had previously only been used by the Indian Armed Forces but was modified by HAL for commercial operations. Alliance Air deployed the aircraft on a new route connecting Dibrugarh, Assam and Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh on 12 April 2022, becoming the first airline to use an Indian-made aircraft in civil aviation operations and the first commercial airline in the country to operate the Dornier 228 aircraft.[13]

Since 15 April 2022, Alliance Air came under the control of Government of India, after Tata Sons announcing it not to be a subsidiary of Air India anymore, as the group acquired the ownership of the Air India in January 2022. Subsequently, Alliance Air started functioning independently and selling its tickets under Alliance Air banner.[14][15]
