To boost air travel between smaller cities, fares for one-hour flights will be capped atRs.2,500 in the new UDAN scheme that is likely to launch in January.
The UDAN scheme (an acronym for Ude Desh Ka Aam Naagrik or "helping the average Indian fly") has been devised to increase connectivity.
Here's how the scheme works. The government has identified airports that are either unused or under-utilised, even though they have infrastructure like a terminal building and air traffic control towers. It has also committed to spendingRs.4,000 crore ($598 million) to reopen 50 disused airports within four years.
The UDAN-vetted airports include Bikaner and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, Bhavnagar and Jamnagar in Gujarat, Bhatinda and Pathankot in Punjab, Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh, and Lakhimpur and Jorhat in Assam.
