✓Who Is Eligible?

The UDAN Regional Connectivity Scheme is open to all Indian citizens and passengers regardless of age, income, or social category. There are no specific eligibility restrictions based on caste, religion, gender, or economic status. Any person holding a valid identity proof can book and travel on UDAN flights. The scheme is designed to make air travel accessible to the common citizen by keeping fares affordable. Passengers traveling on UDAN routes do not need to meet any special criteria or provide documentation beyond standard airline requirements like a valid ID and ticket. The scheme applies across all Indian states and union territories, making it geographically inclusive for citizens from any region. Whether you are employed, self-employed, a student, or a homemaker, you are eligible to book discounted flights on UDAN routes. Senior citizens, children, and persons with disabilities can also avail these benefits. The only requirement is that your chosen flight must be operating under the UDAN scheme on an underserved or unserved route. For specific details about eligibility and any special conditions, visit the official UDAN website or contact the participating airline directly.

📝How to Apply for UDAN - Regional Connectivity Scheme

The UDAN scheme is designed for airline operators and airport authorities rather than individual citizens applying directly. However, if you are a passenger wanting to book discounted flights under this scheme, follow these steps: First, visit the official UDAN website at www.udanscheme.com to check which routes are covered under the scheme and which airlines operate on these routes. Second, identify the airlines operating on UDAN routes that connect underserved or unserved airports in your region. Third, visit the airline's official website or booking portal to search for flights on UDAN routes. Fourth, look for flights labeled as UDAN scheme flights, which will show the capped fare of Rs.2,500 per hour of flight time. Fifth, proceed with your normal booking process by selecting your preferred flight, entering passenger details, and choosing your payment method. Sixth, complete the payment through available options like credit card, debit card, or net banking. Finally, download your e-ticket and boarding pass from the airline's website or app. For more information about participating airlines and routes, visit www.udanscheme.com regularly as new routes are added periodically.
