The Ministry of Civil Aviation had identified nine airports, namely, Kolhapur, Jalgaon, Solapur, Amravati, Nanded, Nashik, Ratnagiri, Gondia and Sindhudurg for revival and operation of RCS flights under the UDAN scheme in Maharashtra, of which 6 airports have been operationalised. The operational airports include Kolhapur, Jalgaon, Nanded, Nashik, Gondia and Sindhudurg, while development work is in progress at the remaining airports, according to the Ministry. UDAN is a demand-driven scheme wherein airline operators assess the feasibility of operation on a particular route and submit bids under the scheme from time to time. An airport which is included in the awarded routes of UDAN and requires upgradation/development for commencement of UDAN operations, is developed under the Revival of Unserved and Underserved Airports Scheme, as per a report.
