According to the chief minister, the amount will be beneficial for the state’s ongoing development initiatives to be carried out successfully.
After receiving the aerodrome licence from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for Naini Saini Airport, Pithoragarh, CM Dhami thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Monday.
On the occasion, Chief Minister Dhami said, “It is a big step towards strengthening the air connectivity of the state.”
Everyone will have access to landing and takeoff facilities at Naini Saini Airport Pithoragarh now that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has granted the Uttarakhand Civil Aviation Development Authority (UCADA) an aerodrome licence for the airport.
