Odisha Govt Unveils Shocking New Incentives - Airlines to Get Paid Rs 5 Lakh Per Flight

Odisha government has rolled out a new air connectivity policy aiming to boost the state's air travel connectivity, offering cash incentives to airlines that establish domestic and international routes to and from the state. The new policy, set to boost the travel industry and provide citizens with improved access to more destinations, will see the state providing viability gap funding to airlines.

Under this new policy, the Odisha government has decided to offer an impressive amount of Rs 5 lakh per round trip for all domestic routes. For international routes, the incentive has been set at Rs 10 lakh per round trip, presenting an immense opportunity for airlines to expand their operations and target routes previously considered unprofitable.

This plan by the Odisha government not only presents economic benefits for airlines but is also expected to have a considerable impact on travel costs for citizens, as airlines will have more routes available for travel. Furthermore, the new air connectivity policy has the potential to increase local economic growth and establish the state as an investment destination.

Airlines can now explore under-tapped routes, providing an increase in flights from and to Odisha. This is set to significantly affect the tourism and business sectors, offering both tourists and business professionals more air travel options. The new air connectivity plan and the incentives provided by the Odisha government are also speculated to generate more revenue from tourism.

With this air connectivity policy, Odisha takes a noteworthy step in upgrading its travel options and travel costs, thus positioning the state in a significant position in India’s air travel arena.
