In a major development for Maharashtra's aviation landscape, six airports out of the total nine have become operational under the UDAN scheme. This initiative, backed by the government, aims to make air travel more affordable and accessible for the common citizen.

The airports that have joined the UDAN network include key locations strategically chosen to enhance regional connectivity. This move is expected to stimulate economic growth, foster tourism, and create new business opportunities in previously underserved areas.

Passengers and businesses alike stand to benefit from this expansion of air connectivity in Maharashtra. As the state takes a leap towards improved accessibility, the UDAN initiative continues to shape the future of aviation in India.
