The name "Chhattisgarh Air Link" indicates an air connectivity service linked to Chhattisgarh, a state in central India formed on 1 November 2000 after being carved out of Madhya Pradesh. The state's principal civil aviation hub is Swami Vivekananda Airport at Mana, near the capital Raipur, with smaller airports and airstrips at locations such as Bilaspur, Jagdalpur and Ambikapur.
Air services in Chhattisgarh have grown alongside national programmes to expand regional air connectivity in India, including the Government of India's UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik) scheme launched in 2016, which sought to connect underserved and unserved airports across the country. Tier-2 and tier-3 cities in Chhattisgarh have been included under such regional connectivity initiatives, supporting intra-state and inter-state flights to destinations including Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Bengaluru.
Initiatives bearing names such as Chhattisgarh Air Link reflect the state's effort to integrate its mineral-rich and largely interior districts with India's wider aviation network, supporting industry, tourism, administration and emergency response in regions where road and rail travel can be time-consuming.
