8 Years of Udaan: Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked the 8th anniversary of the UDAN scheme in a tweet, emphasizing its success in transforming India's aviation landscape. He highlighted the increase in airports and air routes under the initiative, making air travel accessible to millions of citizens. The scheme has also boosted trade, commerce, and regional development. Looking ahead, PM Modi promised continued efforts to strengthen the aviation sector with a focus on connectivity and comfort.

Significant Impact on Accessibility and Economy

The UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) scheme, launched in 2017, aims to make air travel affordable and widespread, especially for people in remote and underserved regions. Over the past eight years, the initiative has seen a remarkable increase in the number of operational airports, which has risen from about 75 to over 140. This expansion has not only made flying more accessible for the common man but has also connected previously isolated areas, fostering regional economic growth and enhancing tourism.

Future Aspirations for the Aviation Sector

In his tweet, PM Modi reiterated the government’s commitment to further developing the aviation sector, aiming for even better connectivity and passenger comfort in the future. The focus will be on integrating advanced technologies and sustainable practices to meet the growing demand for air travel. The government envisions a robust aviation network that continues to promote trade and facilitates the movement of goods, thereby contributing to the overall economic development of the country. As India’s aviation market continues to expand, the UDAN scheme stands as a pivotal initiative in making air travel a reality for all citizens.
