UDAN impact

Under the regional connectivity scheme UDAN, Indigo’s Bareilly-Mumbai flight was flagged off by the Union Minister on Thursday, August 12th. The Ministry of Civil Aviation on twitter said that Bareilly has been upgraded for commercial flight operations under UDAN. Also, adding that Bareilly is the eight airport of Uttar Pradesh after Lucknow, Varnasi, Gorakhpur, Kanpur, Hindon, Agra and Prayagraj.
