States Invest in Air Connectivity to Support growing travel demands and Trends
In a major boost to regional connectivity and tourism infrastructure, Madhya Pradesh has officially inaugurated new airports in Satna and Datia. This expansion, led by the state government and supported by regional aviation operators, marks a significant step toward improving last-mile air access across key destinations in the heart of India. With the addition of these two airports, more regions within Madhya Pradesh are now directly connected by air, enabling faster, safer, and more convenient travel for both business and leisure passengers.
The new air routes offer convenient travel options for a variety of travelers. Satna Airport, operated by PM Shri Paryatan Vayu Seva, now offers direct flights to Singrauli, Indore, and Bhopal. Bookings can be made through jetserveaviation.com. Meanwhile, Datia Airport, operated by Flybig Airlines, connects to Bhopal and Khajuraho, with tickets available at flybig.in. These new routes are expected to significantly reduce travel time between key cities and tourist hubs, benefiting corporate travelers, tourists, pilgrims, and local residents alike.
Mr. Sheo Shekhar Shukla IAS, Principal Secretary and MD of Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board, emphasized, “Better air connectivity translates directly into more regional tourism. Our new routes under PM Shri Paryatan Vayu Seva and Flybig will make travel more seamless for both leisure and MICE travellers.”
This expanded connectivity aligns perfectly with the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board’s vision to make the state more accessible and tourist-friendly. With world-famous destinations like Khajuraho, Sanchi, Pachmarhi, and Bandhavgarh, better intra-state air access will further stimulate tourism, trade, and regional development. The state’s aviation expansion is also aligned with the Government of India’s UDAN scheme, which promotes affordable air travel to tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
Whether you are a tourist planning a temple trail, a business executive on the move, or a family seeking a weekend getaway, Madhya Pradesh’s new air network brings the state closer than ever before. You can now book your seat and explore incredible Madhya Pradesh – just a short flight away.
