Alliance Air is a state-owned Indian regional airline, established in 1996 as a subsidiary of the former Indian Airlines. Unlike Air India, which was privatized to the Tata Group in 2022, Alliance Air remained under government ownership through AI Assets Holding Limited, and today it operates one of India’s largest regional networks under the government’s regional connectivity scheme, linking smaller cities that larger carriers don’t serve directly.

Alliance Air Route Network
Alliance Air’s network is built around India’s UDAN regional connectivity scheme, linking dozens of smaller Indian cities and towns to major metro hubs including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.
Primary Hub
Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi (DEL)
Alliance Air operates from multiple bases across India, with Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) as its primary hub alongside significant operations from Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.
Alliance & Partner Airlines
Alliance Air is not a member of Star Alliance, oneworld, or SkyTeam, and is not part of the privatized Air India Group — it remains a separate, government-owned entity focused specifically on domestic regional connectivity.
Baggage, Seating & Onboard Amenities
A quick reference before you pack — always confirm exact allowances on your fare rules at booking, since they vary by route and cabin.
Carry-On & Personal Item
Standard fares typically include one carry-on bag plus a personal item within limits suited to its smaller ATR and Dornier turboprop aircraft.
Checked Baggage
Checked baggage allowance is generally set for its regional turboprop fleet and may be more limited than mainline jet allowances — confirm the specific allowance for your route.
Excess Baggage Fees
Overweight, oversized, or extra bags typically incur a per-bag fee charged at check-in or online in advance — pre-paying online is usually cheaper than paying at the airport.
Seat Selection & Cabin Classes
Alliance Air operates a fleet of ATR 42, ATR 72, and Dornier 228 turboprops with a single Economy-style cabin on most routes.
How to Find the Cheapest Alliance Air Fares
Four habits that consistently lower what you pay.
Book in the Sweet-Spot Window
For most Alliance Air routes, fares tend to be most competitive when booked several weeks to a few months ahead of departure, rather than at the last minute or extremely far out.
Fly Midweek and Off-Peak
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday departures are usually cheaper than Friday or Sunday, and red-eye or early-morning flights often undercut peak daytime departures.
Set Fare Alerts
Track your route and let price-drop notifications do the watching, instead of checking manually every day.
Price-Tracking Tip
Compare a fixed date range over a week or two before deciding — single-day price checks can be misleading.
Compare a fixed date range over a week or two before deciding — single-day price checks can be misleading.
Use Flexible Date Search
Searching a date range instead of one fixed day often surfaces Alliance Air fares that are noticeably lower just one or two days earlier or later.
Check-In & Day-of-Travel
Online Check-In
Online and mobile check-in generally opens 24–48 hours before departure, letting you select or confirm your seat and download your boarding pass in advance.
Airport Arrival Times
Arrive with enough buffer for check-in, bag drop, and security — this matters more on international Aegean Airlines routes than short domestic hops.
Domestic vs. International Cutoff
International check-in and bag-drop counters usually close earlier relative to departure than domestic ones, so double-check your specific route’s cutoff.
