| Rapid Growth of Civil Aviation under the Yogi Government | | | Uttar Pradesh has emerged as one of India's leading states in civil aviation. In 2024-25, nearly 15 million passengers travelled by air, including 13 million domestic and 1.3 million international flyers. Air travel in the state has recorded a 10.1% CAGR between 2017 and 2025.
The inauguration of Noida International Airport is projected to generate around 1 lakh direct and indirect jobs. Enhanced air connectivity has boosted tourism, with pilgrim cities like Ayodhya and Varanasi witnessing a 30% rise in tourist arrivals. The state attracted over 500 million tourists in 2023, with 20% arriving by air.
Improved air cargo services have accelerated exports from Varanasi and Agra, while Jewar Airport has driven industrial growth and a 20-30% increase in real estate values in the NCR-UP region.
Today, the aviation sector contributes 2-3% to Uttar Pradesh's GDP, up from less than 1% before 2017. The UDAN scheme has further opened business opportunities in smaller cities such as Aligarh and Azamgarh.
With 24 airports, Uttar Pradesh is poised to capture a 10-15% share of India's projected 3-3.5 billion passengers in the coming years.? |
