UDAN 5.1 launched, to enhance connectivity in remote areas via choppers
The government on Wednesday launched the next phase of its regional air connectivity scheme UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik) which is expected to further enhance the connectivity in remote areas through helicopters.
Fe was the first to report earlier this week that the government will soon come out with the next phase of UDAN.
“Greater helicopter penetration through such efforts will help boost tourism, hospitality, and thus, our local economies,” civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said. “UDAN 5.1 heralds a new dawn not just for civil aviation, but also for India’s remote and unserved regions,” he added.
