## ANSWER

Minister of State in the Ministry of CIVIL AVIATION      (Shri Murlidhar Mohol)

- (a) Airports namely Gwalior, Rewa, Datia, Pachmarhi, Guna & Shivpuri have been identified for development under the UDAN scheme in the State  of  Madhya  Pradesh.  Out  of  these  airports,  Gwalior  and  Rewa airports have been operationalised. The new terminal building and new apron  at  Gwalior  Airport,  constructed  at  a  cost  of  Rs  426.22  Crore, commenced operation on 08.08.2024. The development work of Datia airport  is  complete  and  its  licensing  is  in  process.  The  development work of Pachmarhi airport is held up due to environmental clearances. Further, Guna & Shivpuri airports are in the planning stage.

(b) & (c) The current air connectivity from AAI Airports in the State of Madhya Pradesh is attached as Annexure. Further, with the repeal of Air Corporations Act in March, 1994, the Indian domestic aviation was deregulated. It is, therefore, up to the airlines to provide air services to specific  places  depending  upon  the  traffic  demand  and  commercial viability  subject  to  compliance  with  the  extant  guidelines  in  this regard.
