It may be noted that the Modi government has launched a regional connectivity scheme called ‘Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik’ (UDAN) to connect small and medium cities to the air network. Under this, the government decides the fare for the 50 per cent of the seats on the allotted routes, according to the maximum distance. This allows the airline to compensate for the losses incurred per seat.
