31. Way Forward
Impact of UDAN 1 and UDAN 2 on the regional aviation market in India
Enhanced availability and affordability of regional air connectivity
Revival/ upgradation of airport infrastructure in the country (56 Unserved Airports)
Major fillip to tourism and employment generation in the hinterland and Tier-II and Tier- III cities
Uptick in the number of helicopter operators in Priority Areas (31 Helipads/ Heliports)
Ease of doing business: Regulatory provisions for
civil operations through sea-planes
licensing of helipads/ heliports
Innovative models for funding, development and management of airports
Enhanced focus on air cargo operations in the country
WINGS 2018: For engaging with stakeholders (esp. state governments) from the aviation industry and encouraging their participation in addressing the growth challenges/ development of sector 31
