Yogi Adityanath: Uttar Pradesh to procure Dornier aircraft to ferry passengers

For the first time, Hindustan Aeronautical Limited (HAL) manufactured Dornier aircraft will be used to ferry passengers. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday that his government will sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with HAL for two 19 seater Dornier aircraft for non-military purpose.
"The aircraft can be used to ferry passenger from one destination to another. We can run such services," Adityanath said. While making an elaborate presentation about the Defence Expo 2020, the Chief Minister said that flight services could be started from Lucknow to Varanasi or Lucknow to Agra.
He also said that his government is making a military manufacturing policy so that Uttar Pradesh can become a hub of defence production.
The Chief Minister stressed that his government will ensure that the UP Defence Industrial Corridor, one of the two defence corridors in India spread across Chitrakoot, Jhansi, Kanpur, Lucknow, Agra and Aligarh, becomes a success story.
