At a curtain raiser event for the forthcoming Wings India 2020 air show in Hyderabad, the aviation secretary iterated that Bengaluru had the potential to become the aviation hub of India. While that should be a cheering note for Karnataka, its aviation could do with a bit more of push, possibly by impelling itself into exploiting the centre’s regional aviation initiatives.
Air connectivity to regional and remote airports strewn across the country, with some of them languishing in various states of disrepair, has always been a concern for successive governments at the centre; indeed, a policy entitled Route Dispersal Guidelines was promulgated in 1994. However, as it tended to serve as a ‘stick’ to cajole airlines flying on profitable routes to deploy a proportion of their flying effort to remote and regional routes without offering a ‘carrot’ for operations in these areas, it remained a distasteful methodology for promoting flights to Tier II/III airports. In 2016, the National Civil Aviation Policy was introduced; its contents spawned the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS), also referred to as UDAN or Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik. As states were important stakeholders in the Scheme, they were exhorted to sign MoUs with the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) and give their consent to participate in it.
