The Yogi Adityanath government has decided to roll out the red carpet for airline operators, proposing a mega incentive policy for any airline that is ready to offer direct air connectivity between the state’s three prominent centres — Lucknow, Varanasi and Gorakhpur.
At present, there is no flight from the state capital Lucknow to PM Modi’s Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi or Gorakhpur — CM Adityanath’s constituency — or vice versa. Any person wishing to fly between these three destinations, which incidentally have fully functional airports, has to fly first to Delhi.
Varanasi and Lucknow are even international airports. The BJP led government in UP is now set to correct this regional anomaly in the state’s air connectivity by offering incentives to attract airlines
