Boosting Connectivity and Economic Growth Across Underserved Cities
The Indian government plans to invest close to Rs 30,000 crore in developing 100 new airports over the next decade, aiming to boost regional flights and connectivity. This initiative is expected to open up new markets for airlines, tourism, and cargo, and support the growth of regional aviation. As reported by Unknown Source, the opportunity is underpinned by rising incomes and a growing appetite for travel, with airlines having an order book of 1,500-2,000 aircraft.
