Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, Union Minister of Civil Aviation\u00a0said, \u201cIt\u2019s the vision of our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to enable economic growth through better connectivity of not only metros of the country, but also of India\u2019s hidden jewels like Visakhapatnam. It gives me immense pleasure to announce that today we are launching direct flight connectivity from Visakhapatnam to India\u2019s financial capital \u2013 Mumbai. This will open up the potential for employment, tourism, better connectivity for students &amp; will further act as an economic multiplier for Visakhapatnam. Through our policy of UDAN &#8211; Ude Desh Ka Aam NAgrik, better aerial connectivity is being pushed to the hinterlands of India. India is on a cusp of a travel revolution. The concept of high-volume travel at the low cost of travel is what this ministry represents. Moreover, today we are launching 38 more flights in various states of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further added, \u201cVisakhapatnam is now connected with 10 cities with 302 aircraft movements as on date, and we plan to increase these numbers through various initiatives. We are committed to open new vistas &amp; new avenues for the region. In a short span of 7 years, under the leadership of our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, we have gone from 60 airports in 2016 to 136 airports in 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Currently, only the Air India group operates flights on the Vishakhapatnam \u2013 Mumbai route, and the additional flight has been a long pending demand of the natives. The additional flight by M\/S SpiceJet aligns with the objectives of the Sab Uden Sab Juden initiative of the government of India that aims to strengthen aerial connectivity of Tier-2 &amp; Tier-3 cities of the country. M\/S Spicejet will deploy Boeing 737 aircraft on the Vishakhapatnam \u2013 Mumbai route. Moreover, under the Gati Shakti plan of the Government of India, all infrastructural developments will help raise the global profile of local manufacturers and help them compete with their counterparts worldwide. It also raises possibilities of new future economic zones.<\/p>\n<p>Visakhapatnam, also popularly known as Vizag, is one of the oldest port cities in the country and is known for its picturesque beaches and serene landscape. The port of Visakhapatnam is renowned for being home to the oldest shipyard in India, and with a plethora of manmade wonders and natural spectacles. The place is famous for its Submarine Museum, Dolphin\u2019s Nose point, Kailasgiri Hill Park, Borra Caves, Araku Valley, Yarada beach, Katiki Waterfalls, Ikat Sarees, wooden toys, Kalamkari paintings. Visakhapatnam is a must-visit tourist destination in South India for its cultural richness and tourism vastness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The flight schedule is mentioned below:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"0.1_table01\"><\/a><\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Flight No<\/td>\n<td>Sector<\/td>\n<td>Dep<\/td>\n<td>Arrival<\/td>\n<td>Frequency Aircraft<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SG 436<\/td>\n<td>Visakhapatnam-Mumbai<\/td>\n<td>9:50<\/td>\n<td>11:45<\/td>\n<td>MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, SATURDAY<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SG 435<\/td>\n<td>Mumbai-Visakhapatnam<\/td>\n<td>7:15<\/td>\n<td>9:00<\/td>\n<td>MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, SATURDAY<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>******<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0915\u094d\u0937\u092e\u093e \u0915\u0930\u0947\u0902, \u092f\u0939 \u0938\u092e\u093e\u091a\u093e\u0930 \u0906\u092a\u0915\u0947 \u0905\u0928\u0941\u0930\u094b\u0927 \u0915\u0940 \u092d\u093e\u0937\u093e \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0909\u092a\u0932\u092c\u094d\u0927 \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u0939\u0948\u0964 \u0915\u0943\u092a\u092f\u093e \u092f\u0939\u093e\u0901 \u0926\u0947\u0916\u0947\u0902\u0964 DELHI: 15 SEP 2021 Union Minister of Civil Aviation, Shri Jyotiraditya M.
