Picture this: flying from Delhi to Udhampur at pocket-friendly prices! Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh brought this exciting update on Saturday. He announced that the Udhampur airport's operational plan is now final, bringing big relief to travelers. But wait, there’s more! The proposed Kishtwar airport is also part of the exciting UDAN scheme, aiming to boost regional flights. Dr Singh detailed that the Udhampur airport could kick off operations using ATR 72-seater planes. Thanks to the UDAN regional connectivity scheme, ticket prices will be capped at almost half the usual market rates. This means flying Delhi to Udhampur will cost far less than even Delhi to Jammu! Officials added this is fantastic news for students and young professionals who often struggle with the high costs of travel. "This would be a major relief for students and young professionals who often face steep travel costs," the minister emphasized. So buckle up, folks! Udhampur and Kishtwar might soon be just a cheap and cheerful flight away from Delhi. Say goodbye to expensive journeys and hello to affordable skies!
