The Centre has invited proposals from interested air operators for the international version of its Udan scheme as it seeks to enhance air connectivity from India to select overseas destinations.
This is despite the domestic format of the scheme failing to yield desired results with almost half of the routes approved in the first phase of the bidding for the scheme still to be launched.
National airports operator, AAI, which has been mandated to implement the international version of the Udan scheme, has invited “e-proposals (bids) from international bidders for selection of airlines under the International Air Connectivity Scheme, IACS Udan,” according to a notice in the media.
The bids could be submitted to the AAI by November 22.
