MOCAIn a landmark move to strengthen regional connectivity the Civilian Aviation Ministry, launched its aircraft BOEING-737 flight from Kolkata- Hindon – Goa on 01 March 2025. The project was inaugurated by Hon’ble Civil Aviation Minister Mr Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu at Hindon, showcasing exemplary civilian military coordination. 

Hindon airport is located in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Due to its strategic location dual use capabilities, military infrastructure and capacity to handle diverse air traffic, it is a crucial asset for the nation. Introduction of flights from Hindon will go a long way in decongesting air traffic in NCR. 

This flight under UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Naagrik) project is a testament to the Indian Air Force’s commitment to supporting both military and civilian air operations, facilitating improved access to varied locations. 

Beyond its core mission of safeguarding the nation’s skies, the Indian Air Force actively contributes to nation-building by supporting initiatives like Project UDAN, aimed at enhancing regional air connectivity across India.
