473 new routes have been operationalized under the UDAN scheme, which was launched by the Centre to improve air connectivity in Tier II and III cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In terms of airports, Salem Airport is now operational (in Tamil Nadu). Vellore will be operational within the next few months. In Tamil Nadu, fourteen UDAN routes will be introduced.” <\/strong><\/em>He made the remarks shortly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the new integrated terminal building at Chennai Airport, which cost Rs 1,260 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scindia stated that the UDAN Yojana has benefited 1.20 crore people who could never have imagined flying.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Union government launched the Ude Desh Ka Aam Naagrik (UDAN) scheme<\/strong> as a programme to provide air connectivity in Tier II and Tier III cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scindia described the new integrated building at the airport as a “testament<\/em>” to a new era of civil aviation under Modi’s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Civil aviation is changing, and our country’s passenger throughput has more than doubled in the last nine years to 14.5 crore per year across India.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>Scindia<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Scindia stated that air passenger throughput has also reached pre-Covid levels, with 4.55 lakh passengers travelling per day as opposed to 4.20 lakh passengers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, the government constructed an additional 74 new airports, heliports, and waterdomes for a total of 148 after the country only had 74 airports operating for 65 years after gaining independence.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Prime Minister is very clear in that regard. India must advance and rise. In the ensuing four to five years, we’ll construct more than 200 airports, waterdomes, and heliports.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Scindia made reference to the disinvestment of Air India, which had placed the largest order in the annals of global civil aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With newfound growth, Chennai emerges as one of the country’s largest gateways and is India’s third largest airport with 43 domestic and 24 international connections,<\/em>” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The international terminal building would handle approximately 3 million passengers per year, up from 2.3 million previously. “In the next two years, Chennai airport will grow from 3 crore to 3.50 crore passengers,”<\/em><\/strong> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, the new terminal uses 60% renewable energy and has multi-modal connectivity, including a direct link to the Chennai metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every airport is a gateway to Indi<\/strong>a, and the country’s rich cultural heritage must be displayed, he said, with the new integrated terminal displaying 13 paintings of the largest temples in Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
