Reasons ‘why airlines in India have ordered over 1200 aircraft,’ PM Modi explains rise in aviation

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at the Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference on Civil Aviation held at Bharat Mandapam, highlighted India's position as a key player in the global civil aviation ecosystem, noting the sector's remarkable growth. He emphasized that citizens from tier 2 and tier 3 cities are increasingly utilizing air travel, crediting the government's Udaan scheme for enhancing connectivity through various policy reforms and infrastructural developments. "Today, India remains one of the strong pillars of the in just one decade, India has shown a huge transformation. In a few years, India has transformed from an aviation-exclusive country to an aviation-inclusive country. There was a time when air travel in India was exclusive to only a few people. Some big cities had good air connectivity, some rich people used to take advantage of air travel regularly but today the situation in India has completely changed. Today, citizens of our tier 2 and tier 3 cities are also flying from there. For this, we have taken initiatives, made policy changes and developed systems. I am sure that you will study the Udaan scheme of Bharat. The excellent scheme of regional connectivity has increased the addition and inclusion in India. Travel has reached the small cities and lower middle class of India. 14 million passengers have travelled under the scheme so far. Lakhs of these people have seen an airplane from inside for the first time...In 10 years, the number of airports in India has doubled...Airlines are also aware of this. This is the reason why Indian airlines have ordered more than 1200 new aircraft”, said PM Modi.
