Imagine hopping on a quick flight for just Rs 150 as the base fare! This dream is now a reality for travelers in India, thanks to the government’s Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS), also known as UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik). This initiative aims to make air travel accessible to more people by offering subsidized fares on regional routes.
The scheme has resulted in a significant drop in base airfares on many routes. The lowest fare reported is a mere Rs 150 for a flight between Lilabari and Tezpur in Assam, operated by Alliance Air. This 50-minute flight makes regional travel a breeze, especially compared to longer bus or train journeys.
