Aviation Body Proposes 7 New Direct Routes to Major Cities

29 Aug 2024 CW Team

India's aviation authority is set to introduce seven new direct air routes connecting major cities across the country. This initiative aims to boost connectivity, reduce travel time, and enhance the efficiency of domestic air travel. The proposed routes will link key metropolitan areas, providing more convenient flight options for passengers and easing congestion on existing routes.

The planned expansion comes as part of efforts to improve the country?s air infrastructure in response to rising demand for domestic travel. With India experiencing a surge in air passengers, especially post-pandemic, the introduction of these new routes is expected to alleviate pressure on major airports and offer travellers more choices.

By expanding direct routes, the aviation body seeks to streamline air traffic and encourage better use of smaller airports, fostering balanced regional development. The move also aligns with the government's broader plans to strengthen India?s aviation sector and meet growing consumer expectations for faster, more accessible flights between major cities.

The new routes are anticipated to benefit business travellers, tourists, and the overall economy by facilitating smoother travel experiences and bolstering regional trade and tourism.
