New Delhi: The rapid development of air infrastructure in India’s North-East states over the last decade is leading to higher economic development in the remote hilly region of the country, with growth picking up in the agricultural and tourism sectors.
This has also been highlighted in an article in the 'Times of Kuwait' which points out that the region now has 17 operational airports, as the number has almost doubled since 2014.
In the state of Arunachal Pradesh, three new greenfield airports were built, while the states of Sikkim, Nagaland, and Tripura each got one.
At the same time, a few airports were revived or upgraded for better runways and facilities.
The UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) scheme by the Government facilitated regional air connectivity among different locations in the North-East Indian states and with other cities in and outside the country.
The developing airport infrastructure would boost economic growth in North East India, the articles quotes Mark Martin, CEO of a Dubai-based aviation firm, as saying.
