Airports Authority of India (AAI)
Airports Authority of India (AAI) has planned to develop around 100 airports, waterdromes and heliports by 2024 under the regional air connectivity scheme - UDAN. The UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) scheme aims to provide affordable, economically viable and profitable air travel on regional routes. 50 unserved and underserved airports (including five heliports) with 285 new routes have been added under the UDAN Scheme across the country. Civil Aviation Secretary, Pradeep Singh Kharola, insisted that stakeholders should work towards making the scheme sustainable on its own and improve its efficiency. He urged the airlines to undertake marketing initiatives so that more people can be benefitted from the scheme.
