New Delhi, July 2: The Aviation Ministry's Regional Connectivity Scheme literally aims to make hop-on and hop-off the airlines a reality! The government has taken steps for providing flight connectivity between cities within a distance of 200 km to 800 km.
There are plans of bringing in around 410 airports within the ambit of the Regional Connectivity Scheme. There are 31 airports which can allow flying without much additional cost. Central and state governments will together work towards revival of these airports.
Initially, the government is planning revival of around 60 airports. The bids will be called in the coming days for deciding the operator. The plan is to implement the scheme by August 1.
