Background
Regional airlines in India serve a distinct role in the country's civil aviation network, providing connectivity between Tier-II and Tier-III cities and the principal aviation hubs. Rajasthan, India's largest state by area, has several airports including those at Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner and Kishangarh, making it a relevant geography for regional carriers.
Operating context
Indian regional carriers commonly operate within the regulatory framework of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and may participate in the Government of India's regional connectivity scheme, UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik), launched in 2016 to promote affordable air travel to underserved airports.
Significance
Carriers categorised as regional airlines contribute to last-mile aviation connectivity, tourism flows, and the development of smaller airports. In Rajasthan, where tourism is a major economic driver, regional aviation supports access to heritage and leisure destinations.
