Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government is getting ready to loosen its purse once again to add another flying machine to its existing fleet of aircraft to fly VVIPs in the state.
The proposed new aircraft would be an addition to the existing fleet of over half a dozen aircraft and helicopters owned by the state civil aviation department. These are used by top state government functionaries, including the chief minister, chief secretary and director general of Police for official purposes, emergency situations and circumstances of public welfare.
A five member team of state officials had recently attended Singapore Air Show, which is Asia's biggest such event, for finalising a deal in this regard. The team comprised Civil Aviation Principal Secretary Anita Singh, Secretary S K Raghuvanshi, Director Devendra Swarup etc.
An official, who was part of the delegation, told Business Standard on condition of anonymity that the state government was keen to get a new aircraft. "We have submitted our report to the government after returning from the Singapore Air Show. Now, the government would study the report to take a call accordingly," he added.
