The civil aviation ministry has proposed to connect smaller towns with larger ones in the country and among the first on the radar are Kanyakumari and Rameswaram.
According to the ministry, both have huge tourism potential but are hampered by a lack of connectivity.
Currently, Madurai is the nearest airport to Rameswaram and it is 170km away from the town. Similarly, Kanyakumari is 100km away from the nearest airport at Thiruvananthapuram.
