The Indian government plans to operationalize 12 airports, including Car Nicobar, under the UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) scheme this year. This initiative aims to enhance regional connectivity and provide affordable air travel to underserved and remote areas across the country.
As part of the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS), these airports will improve accessibility and support economic development in the regions they serve. The Ministry of Civil Aviation has selected these locations to expand the aviation network and extend air travel benefits to a broader population.
Car Nicobar, located in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is expected to boost connectivity in the region, promoting tourism and economic growth. This development aligns with the government’s vision of a robust aviation infrastructure that supports national economic growth.
The UDAN scheme has made air travel more accessible by connecting remote regions, contributing to balanced development in the aviation sector. The new airports are also anticipated to create job opportunities, stimulate local economies, and facilitate the movement of goods and people, fostering regional trade and commerce.
The government’s commitment to expanding the aviation network through UDAN highlights its dedication to improving regional connectivity and supporting aviation sector growth. The new airports will play a crucial role in achieving these goals and enhancing the convenience and efficiency of air travel for more people.
