The Ministry of Civil Aviation has launched UDAN 5.1 to further enhance the connectivity to remote areas of the country and achieve last mile connectivity through helicopters.
For the first time under RCS-UDAN, this round is designed specifically for helicopter routes.
The main features include:
An increase in the scope of operations for operators wherein the scheme will now allow routes where one of the origin or destination locations is in a priority area
Airfare caps have been reduced by as much as 25% to make flying in helicopters more affordable for passengers.
