Alliance Air started direct Guwahati–Ziro flights on 5 Dec, 2024 under the UDAN regional scheme, using a Dornier 228 with about 17 seats. The launch schedule had two flights a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, leaving Guwahati around midday and taking roughly 1 hour 15 minutes. Ziro's airport handled 640 passengers in 2025–26, up about 37% on the year before, which shows the service is in use but also how small it is. Alliance Air's Northeast timetables change often and weather cancellations are common, so confirm your date on FlightGPT and with the airline before planning the rest of your trip.
Indian citizens who are not residents of Arunachal Pradesh need an Inner Line Permit (ILP) to enter the state, and it applies whether you arrive by air or road. Apply online through the Arunachal Pradesh government's e-ILP portal a few days before travel, upload your photo ID, and carry a printed or digital copy; officials check permits on arrival. Foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit instead, with conditions on group size and approved circuits. Ziro is included in standard tourist permits, but if you plan to continue to other districts such as Daporijo or Along, make sure your permit covers them. Without a valid permit you can be turned back.
The Dornier 228 is a twin-turboprop commuter aircraft with high wings and a single seat on each side of the aisle, so everyone gets a window. There is no lavatory on most configurations and no cabin service on a flight this short, so use the facilities before boarding. After crossing the Brahmaputra plains, the aircraft climbs over forested ridges into the Ziro plateau at around 1,590 metres, landing on a short 1,195-metre runway. The views of pine-covered hills and rice fields are a highlight on a clear day. Turbulence is common over the hills in the afternoon, and low cloud can delay or cancel the flight, especially from May to September.
Small aircraft have tight weight and balance limits, so baggage rules matter more than usual. Alliance Air's typical domestic allowance is 15 kg check-in plus a small cabin bag, but on the Dornier the cabin has almost no overhead space and the airline may weigh both bags and passengers. Pack light:
Guwahati's Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport is at Borjhar, about 28 km west of the city centre and 26 km from Dispur, so allow 45–75 minutes by cab from Paltan Bazaar or Ganeshguri depending on traffic on NH-27. A new integrated terminal opened on 20 Dec, 2025; check your booking for which terminal Alliance Air uses, as regional operations can be handled separately from jet flights. Arrive at least 90 minutes before departure — small-aircraft flights close check-in early to complete the load sheet. If you are connecting from Delhi, Kolkata or Mumbai, take a morning arrival or stay the night in Guwahati.
Ziro is a high valley of terraced rice fields, pine forests and villages of the Apatani people, known for their sustainable paddy-cum-fish farming and recognised on UNESCO's tentative World Heritage list. Visitors come for village walks around Hong and Hari, the Talley Valley wildlife sanctuary, and festivals: the Myoko festival in March, Dree in early July, and the Ziro Festival of Music, an outdoor event usually held in late September. Government officials, doctors and teachers posted in Lower Subansiri also use the flight, and residents use it to reach Guwahati's hospitals quickly. Most visitors stay in Hapoli, the district headquarters, or in homestays in the villages.
