NEW DELHI: Bidding for the second round of the regional connectivity scheme or UDAN, which seeks to make flying affordable on short domestic routes, is likely to conclude within the next three months, the Government said today.
“We are still deciding on when the bidding process will be open,” Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha said at a press conference.
The minister also said that he has received requests for making more flight services available to north Bihar.
“We need airlines to bid for these routes, only then can we work on airport availability and readiness,” Sinha added.
He also said, as part of the second phase of the regional connectivity scheme (RCS), the Government will host an event where all interested airline operators as well as cities and states interested in having enhanced air connectivity, will be invited. (AGENCIES)
