Over 215,000 UDAN flights operated under regional connectivity scheme
A total of 453 routes have commenced, operationalising 70 airports, including two water aerodromes and nine heliports, under the government’s regional connectivity scheme (RCS).
The Ministry of Civil Aviation launched the RCS-UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) in October 2016 to stimulate regional air connectivity and make air travel affordable for the masses.
More than 2.15 lakh UDAN flights have operated and over 1.1 crore passengers have availed the benefits of UDAN flights so far. The scheme has been able to provide air connectivity to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities at affordable rates and has transformed the way people travel.
