New Delhi [India], April 26: The aviation sector of India has experienced a significant transformation, propelled by the UDAN scheme—Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik. Launched in 2016, this initiative was designed to democratise aviation, thereby making air travel accessible to the general populace, which was previously considered a luxury.
As the UDAN Scheme commemorates eight groundbreaking years, it stands as a testament to inclusive growth, linking tier-2 and tier-3 towns through affordable air travel.
With 625 routes in service and 90 airports, including heliports and water aerodromes, UDAN has carried over 1.49 crore passengers, making travel more accessible than ever for our citizens! This initiative has truly kickstarted development in areas that were previously unconnected. At the heart of this remarkable scheme is its Viability Gap Funding model, supported by a wonderful teamwork among the central government, state governments, and airport operators.
