Uttar Pradesh receives the greatest number of airports in operation for a state in a single sweep.

Uttar Pradesh has become the only state in India with over 10 operational airports, inaugurated by the prime minister on March 10.

Regional carrier flybig has started selling tickets for flights to Shravasti, Azamgarh, Chitrakoot, and Aligarh from Lucknow under RCS-UDAN. This will increase the number of operational airports in India, bringing Uttar Pradesh to 13 operational airports, the highest for any state. The state has seen a turnaround in infrastructure over the last decade, including expansion of existing terminals and civil enclaves.

Tourist and commercial sites in India include Shravasti, where Gautam Buddha lived, and Chitrakoot, a cultural and religious center. Ayodhya is the nearest airport, while Chitrakoot Dham is located in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Chitrakoot is also the site of Lord Rama’s 11-year exile.

Moradabad, a populous metalcraft district near Delhi, is attracting traders due to its proximity to brass. A flight connection will benefit traders, while Aligarh will soon have access to Jewar.

What is the state of the other states?

Gujarat now has the most airports in use, with ten of them hosting regular commercial flights. Mundra will probably shortly join the rank. Next in order of operational airports are nine each in Maharashtra and Karnataka. While connection is expected to be restored soon in Maharashtra’s Nanded and Jalgaon, it won’t surpass the number of airports in Uttar Pradesh, where Noida International Airport in Jewar is scheduled to become operational later this year.

Will there still be flights?

It’s hardly Flybig’s greatest record when it comes to running flights. The airline began operations in Indore but soon expanded, basing its ATRs in the East and North East. The airline established a second base in Hyderabad for a transitional period, serving Gondia from both Hyderabad and Indore, with ambitions to expand its route network from Hyderabad. This was swiftly removed, and the airplane once more made its way to the northeast. When the ATRs were abruptly returned to the lessor, connectivity in the Northeast was abruptly cut off, and services to locations like Rupasi, which was an airline station, were suspended.

The itinerary for a longer period of time is not yet accessible on the airline’s website for the four locations that will see launch flights in the upcoming week. This can be as a result of the airline having some time to build up forward loads following the swift maiden flights, or it might be due to the transit to the summer schedule on March 31, 2024.

Although the RCS-UDAN initiative aims to connect underserved and unserved airports and sectors, many airports and sectors have previously lost connectivity due to airline failures or inability to optimize operations. Flybig would also have to decide whether to succeed or fail because if there are any further withdrawals, the government and the market will lose faith in the airline.
