To keep ticket costs within reach on flights between Mumbai and Solapur, Maharashtra govt to make available Rs 3,240 per seat
Mumbai: The state cabinet on Tuesday approved the provision of viability gap funding (VGF) per seat for a year on the lines of the UDAN scheme for the Solapur-Pune-Mumbai air route. The Centre launched the UDAN (Regional Connectivity Scheme) to make air travel affordable for common people. This scheme will also be implemented for Solapur airport. Until the implementation of this scheme, funds will be made available as viability gap at the rate of Rs 3,240 per seat (100% VGF) for a year. This will help reduce the cost of air travel on the Solapur-Pune-Mumbai route, said officials.

A provision of Rs 17.97 crore will be made for this. After the implementation of the UDAN scheme for this airport, this fund provided by the govt will be discontinued, and 20% VGF will be provided as per the central govt's UDAN scheme. In areas that previously had few or no flights for connectivity, the govt is attempting to increase regional air travel, enhance connectivity, and foster economic growth with this strategy. The scheme contributed significantly to the growth of regional airlines. Not only this, but this initiative also gave a boost to job creation and tourism. Since its launch on Oct 21, 2016, UDAN effectively ran flights on about 601 itineraries and 71 airports, increasing the affordability and accessibility of air travel for the typical Indian tourist. Connecting smaller towns and cities with larger hubs is the main objective of this plan, which also aims to make air travel more accessible to people living in remote places.
