‘India Now World’s 3rd Largest…’: PM Modi’s Big Statement At World Air Transport Summit In Delhi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India has emerged as the world’s third-largest domestic aviation market, driven by rapid growth in passenger numbers and transformational policy interventions like the UDAN scheme. PM Modi said India is investing heavily in world-class airport infrastructure to meet the growing demand for air travel. Highlighting the rapid expansion of the aviation sector, he noted that Indian carriers have already placed orders for over 2,000 aircraft — and ‘this is just the beginning,’ he added. Addressing the International Air Transport Association (IATA) summit, being held in India after four decades, Modi said, ‘Our airlines are achieving double-digit growth. The success of the UDAN scheme is a golden chapter in Indian civil aviation.’ By 2030, he said, the government envisions that UDAN, aimed at regional connectivity, will have benefited nearly 50 crore Indians.#narendramodi #indiaaviation #udanscheme #airportinfrastructure #aircraftorders #iatasummit #domesticaviation #regionalconnectivity #civilaviation #airtravel #makeinindia #viksitbharat #aviationgrowth #indiapolicies #globalaviationleader #aviationsector #indiandevelopment #connectivity #futureofaviation #bharatmandapam #toi #toibharat
