Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the aviation industry’s growth potential in the nation on Thursday, stating that more people are using planes to go from smaller cities and that this has made air travel more accessible and economical due to the regional connectivity initiative. Modi also floated the notion of an international Buddhist circuit that would connect nations via air and benefit both people and nations. “To shape the aviation future is our shared commitment,” Modi said.

Additionally, Modi offered to analyse the UDAN scheme’s effectiveness and made a pitch to the Asia Pacific countries about how they could use aviation to create a network of opportunities in the area. Under the UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) scheme, 14 million people have travelled, with many of them seeing the inside of an aircraft for the first time, he said.

In order to promote economic growth, foster innovation and strengthen peace and prosperity in the Asia Pacific region, the prime minister underlined efforts to build a network of opportunities. According to him, the aviation industry is driven by the expanding middle class and the demand it creates.
