In a historic stride toward transforming regional air connectivity, Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off the maiden commercial flight between Hisar and Ayodhya and laid the foundation stone for a state-of-the-art terminal at the Maharaja Agrasen Hisar Airport on Monday, coinciding with Ambedkar Jayanti.
This ambitious expansion marks a significant chapter in India’s UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) initiative, reinforcing the government's commitment to affordable and accessible air travel for all.
The inaugural Hisar-Ayodhya flight isn't just another route - it’s a symbolic connection between Haryana’s economic aspirations and Uttar Pradesh’s cultural heritage. With twice-weekly operations between the two cities, the route is expected to boost pilgrimage tourism, enhance business travel, and streamline regional trade corridors.
'This is a proud moment for Haryana. The first commercial flight from Hisar to Ayodhya is more than just a takeoff - it’s the beginning of a new economic journey,' PM Modi declared in front of an enthusiastic crowd.
PM Modi also laid the foundation for a massive Rs 410-crore upgrade of Hisar Airport, signaling a transformational shift in Haryana’s aviation landscape. The upcoming terminal will house:
- A modern passenger terminal equipped with contemporary facilities
- A fully integrated cargo terminal to boost regional exports
- An advanced Air Traffic Control (ATC) building for safer, high-volume operations
This infrastructural overhaul is strategically designed to position Hisar as a regional aviation hub, improving connectivity to key North Indian cities.
Hisar Airport’s operational scope is expanding beyond Ayodhya. New scheduled flights are being rolled out to Jammu, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Chandigarh, operating three times a week, thereby offering better flight options to both tourists and professionals.
This development promises economic decentralization, allowing Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities like Hisar to participate in India’s booming aviation ecosystem.
With the BJP government’s ongoing focus on 'Viksit Haryana, Viksit Bharat, ' Hisar Airport's modernization is a strategic move aligned with India’s growth-first infrastructure policy. The new air routes and airport facilities are expected to:
- Generate local employment opportunities
- Encourage tourism and investment in Haryana
- Facilitate logistics and cargo movement from Northern India
This is more than infrastructure - it’s a promise of progress, especially for regions previously underserved by major transport links.
The launch of the Hisar-Ayodhya flight and the foundation stone for a next-gen terminal at Hisar Airport mark a turning point for regional air travel in India. As the skies open up for Hisar, Haryana inches closer to becoming a key node in India’s expanding aviation network.
Whether you're a traveler, investor, or resident of North India, these changes signal a brighter, faster, and more connected future.
