“I aim to create 1 or 2 cities in every state which are completely connected with the entire country and in Madhya Pradesh, Indore has achieved this. Previously, Indore was connected with 12 cities but in 6 months, we have connected Indore to 22 cities such as Panaji, Kishangarh, Raipur, Belgaum, Gwalior, Pune, Nagpur, etc,” he told.
“Apart from Jammu, we have connected Indore with Visakhapatnam and Chandigarh from today onwards,” he further said. The people of Indore and its adjoining places will be aided by getting direct air connectivity to Jammu which will facilitate seamless movement of passengers between Indore and Jammu and vice-versa.
IndiGo representatives handed over the first boarding pass to Scindia as a token of appreciation and later to a passenger Preeti Sharma, who said she was waiting for such a service for a long time to visit Vaishno Devi Temple.
With these new commercial flights, common people will get multiple options to travel between these areas which will increase the tourism potential and increase the economic activity of both regions, officials told.
