Under the UDAN scheme, Haryana is aiming to connect the under-construction Hisar heliport with several major cities, including Delhi, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Gorakhpur, Jaipur, Amritsar, Kullu and Jammu.
Giving details about the state government‘s plans, Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, who also holds the civil aviation portfolio, said, “The Gurugram Heliport is an ambitious project of the state government. It will become operational soon. Under the Central Government’s UDAN scheme, air travel will be started from Hisar to various major cities of the country. We are exploring the possibilities of starting flights from Hisar to Delhi, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Gorakhpur, Jaipur, Amritsar, Kullu, Jammu and other cities”.
“It was on April 27, 2017, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Regional Connectivity Scheme UDAN. The scheme was launched with an aim to fulfil the aspirations of common citizens following the vision of “Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik” with advanced aviation infrastructure and air connectivity in Tier II and Tier III cities,” Dushyant added.
“Under UDAN, 220 destinations (Airports/Heliports/Water Aerodromes) across the country with 1,000 routes is the target by 2026. This scheme has played a major role in the transformation of the Indian aviation industry. The day is not far when civil aviation will become the basis of transport in Haryana,” the Deputy CM said.
