Central Government Plans 12 New Airports Under UDAN Scheme

The central government is set to launch 12 new airports as part of the UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Naagrik) scheme, aimed at enhancing regional connectivity across India. This initiative is designed to make air travel more accessible to the general public, especially in underserved and remote areas.

Under the UDAN scheme, these new airports will be established in various locations to connect tier-2 and tier-3 cities with major urban centers. The expansion is expected to improve regional connectivity, stimulate economic growth, and provide more travel options for passengers.

The new airports will cater to increasing passenger demand and are part of a broader effort to develop infrastructure in smaller towns and cities. By enhancing air connectivity, the government aims to support local economies, facilitate business operations, and provide better travel experiences for citizens.

This expansion aligns with the government?s goal of promoting balanced regional development and making air travel more inclusive. The UDAN scheme has already seen significant success, and the addition of these new airports will further strengthen the connectivity network across the country.

The initiative is expected to have a positive impact on the aviation sector, with increased flight frequencies and improved infrastructure contributing to a more robust and efficient air transport system. The new airports will play a crucial role in bridging the connectivity gap and fostering economic integration within the country.
