Aviation ministry’s tableau showcases impact of regional air connectivity scheme Udan
The Aviation Ministry’s tableau at the Republic Day parade on Wednesday showcased its regional air connectivity scheme Udan and its impact across the country.
Under the UDAN scheme, financial incentives from the Centre, state governments and airport operators are extended to selected airlines to encourage operations from unserved and underserved airports and to keep airfares affordable.
The front part of the aircraft-shaped tableau showcased women pilots depicting women power in India’s aviation — India has amongst the highest number of female pilots globally. The rear portion showed Buddhism symbols and the UDAN motto – Sab Uden, Sab Juden.
