India's Aviation Transformation Under Modi Government
India’s aviation sector has witnessed a remarkable transformation under the Modi government. In just 10 years, the number of airports has more than doubled, increasing from 74 to 157. This achievement is particularly notable when considering that it took previous regimes 70 years to develop just 74 airports.
Unmatched Infrastructure Development
The speed of infrastructure development in the last decade has been unmatched, unseen, and unprecedented. A testament to this progress is the dedication of 15 airports by the Prime Minister in a single day on March 10. This highlights the government’s commitment to enhancing aviation infrastructure and promoting connectivity across the country.
Bringing Aviation to the Northeast
The impact of this transformation is evident in regions like Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. For 65 years, these states had limited to no airport infrastructure. Today, Sikkim has an airport, and Arunachal Pradesh boasts four airports, showcasing the government’s focus on inclusive development and regional connectivity.
Job Creation and Economic Growth
The expansion of India’s aviation sector is not only improving connectivity but also generating numerous job opportunities. The growth of airports and airlines is creating employment in various sectors, including:
- Aviation operations and management
- Airport services and maintenance
- Airline staff and crew (excluding pilot training)
- Tourism and hospitality
- Logistics and cargo handling
