Prime Minister Inaugurates Airports Under RCS-UDAN

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated three airports, developed under the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) – UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik). These airports are: Rewa in Madhya Pradesh, Ambikapur in Chhatisgarh and Saharanpur in UP. Flights under RCS-UDAN will begin from these airports shortly. From Mundra (Gujarat) to Tezu in Arunachal Pradesh and Kullu in Himachal Pradesh to Salem in Tamil Nadu, RCS-UDAN has connected 34 States/UTs across the length and breadth of the country. A total of 86 aerodromes have been operationalised under UDAN. Ten airports have been operationalised in the Northeast region in addition to two heliports. Many airports that were operationalised under UDAN such as Darbhanga, Prayagraj, Hubli, Belgaum, Kannur, etc have or may soon become sustainable with many non-RCS commercial flights operating from these airports.
