Air travel has become even easier for the people of Delhi-NCR. IndiGo on Saturday started its flights to 9 major cities from Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad. On this occasion, Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjrapu inaugurated these routes. Now people will also get rid of the crowd at Delhi Airport.
Flight from Hindon to Patna, Goa, Kolkata
According to the report, IndiGo will now connect Hindon Airport from Bengaluru, Kolkata, Varanasi, Goa, Patna, Chennai, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Indore. Earlier, Air India Express started flights from Hindon and now IndiGo has become the second major airline that is operating from this airport.
Describing it as the success of the UDAN scheme, the minister said that “it is not just Hindon or western Uttar Pradesh, but a flight of the whole country, it is a flight of common Indian ambitions and expectations.” He said that in the last decade, the number of airlines, the capacity of the airport and the number of passengers in the country have doubled.
Hindon Airport is built under Udan Scheme
The development work of Hindon Airport started under the UDAN scheme in 2019, on which about 50 crore rupees were spent. In 2019, where only 8,000 passengers used to fly from this airport in collaboration with the Air Force, now this figure has crossed 80,000.
The Central Government has announced a special incentive for the aviation sector in the budget of 2025-26. In the next ten years, a target has been set to connect 120 new destinations and reach 4 crore passengers. The government is trying to make India a global aviation hub by 2030.
