More Airports, More Flyers, More In-Flight Samosas
This effort is made attainable through the UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Naagrik) scheme, which seeks to grant 40 million more individuals access to air travel. That is an incredible elevated number of additional folding tables.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced that the plan includes:
✈️ Four new greenfield airports in Bihar (because one is never enough).
✈️ A brownfield airport at Bihta (for those who love a renovation story).
✈️ An upgraded Patna airport, so more people can actually leave Patna by plane.
From Buses to Boarding Passes
A whopping 88 smaller cities will now get flight connections—perfect for those who’ve had enough of 15-hour train rides and questionable roadside dhabas. And since UDAN has already connected 88 airports (plus two water aerodromes and 13 heliports, because why not?), India’s aviation network is growing faster than a Bollywood dance sequence.
India’s Sky-High Ambitions
With airlines placing record-breaking aircraft orders, it’s clear that India’s aviation boom isn’t slowing down. So whether you’re flying for work, family visits, or just because you love tiny airplane snacks, buckle up—India’s air travel revolution is just taking off! India Adds 120 New Airports!
