“This will also be a test of the potential of Maharishi Valmiki International Airport in Ayodhya, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 30,” the Uttar Pradesh chief minister said and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for giving the fourth international airport to the state.
The Uttar Pradesh chief minister was speaking at the virtual function for the inauguration of Indigo’s Ayodhya to Ahmedabad flight. Union civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, Union minister VK Singh, and other senior officials launched the first tri-weekly flights on Thursday between Ahmedabad and Ayodhya.
Expressing happiness over the launch of the new air service between Ayodhya and Ahmedabad, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that with this flight service, Ayodhya, the city of Lord Shri Ram, has been directly connected to Ahmedabad by air service. Ahmedabad is the second-connected place from Ayodhya after Delhi.
After the commencement of flight services to Mumbai from January 15, Mumbai will become the third connected destination. Apart from this, another flight to Delhi is starting from January 16, 2024. The Chief Minister described better air services as a bigger boost to tourism and business activities.
