Ayodhya Airport: A Testament to the City's Development
The Ayodhya airport, developed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) at a cost of around Rs 350 crore, has already garnered attention with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issuing an aerodrome licence on December 14. The airport's readiness was confirmed by Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, who announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to inaugurate the facility. Ayodhya's airport is set to become a central hub for spiritual tourism and a symbol of the city's advancement.
