DGCA Licenses Ambikapur Airport for Operations

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has granted operational clearance to Ambikapur Airport, marking a significant milestone in the region's aviation landscape. Situated in the state of Chhattisgarh, Ambikapur Airport is now poised to facilitate air travel, enhancing connectivity and accessibility for both residents and visitors alike. This development aligns with the broader vision to bolster regional air infrastructure across India.

With the issuance of the license by DGCA, Ambikapur Airport is primed to kickstart flight operations, ushering in a new era of convenience and efficiency for travellers in the area. The airport's strategic location is expected to catalyse economic growth by attracting investments, boosting tourism, and fostering commercial activities in the region. Additionally, improved connectivity via air travel is anticipated to unlock opportunities for local businesses and industries, contributing to the socio-economic development of Ambikapur and its surrounding areas.

The licensing of Ambikapur Airport underscores the commitment of authorities towards modernising and expanding India's aviation network. This milestone achievement reflects the culmination of concerted efforts by various stakeholders to enhance air infrastructure and promote air connectivity across the country. As Ambikapur Airport prepares to welcome its inaugural flights, it signals a promising future for air travel in the region, promising greater convenience and accessibility for travellers.

This development also aligns with the government's ambitious plans to strengthen regional connectivity under the UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) scheme, which aims to make air travel affordable and accessible to the masses. Ambikapur Airport's operationalisation is expected to further bolster the implementation of the UDAN scheme, facilitating seamless air travel for passengers across different parts of the country. As the airport gears up to commence flight operations, it sets the stage for enhanced connectivity, economic growth, and development opportunities in the region
