• The Scheme is divided into two main parts. The first part is to develop new airports and enhance the existing regional airports to increase the number of operational airports for civilian flights from 70 to 150 and the second part is to add several hundred financially viable, capped airfare, new regional flight routes to connect more than 100 unserved airports in smaller towns with each other and with the airports of the bigger cities using Viability Gap Funding ( VGF) where needed.

• Under the UDAN scheme, the number of aircraft jumped from 395( 2014) to 548 ( 2017). The scheme adds 50 aircraft every year to the existing one.

• Recently in March 2022, Civil Aviation Minister Jyotirao Scindia highlighted the major role that the aviation industry plays in the Indian economy and underlined the fact that the government of India has set a target of creating 220 new airports by 2025.He further added the strength of cargo flights for perishable food items will be increased to 30 % with 133 new flights and 33 new domestic cargo terminals. He also added that 16 new airports will be built in 5 states of Central India which includes Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra and stressed the fact that the total number of airports in the country has also increased after the implementation of the UDAN Scheme. India had 74 airports in 2014 but in the past 7 years, 66 new airports have been added.
