The state of Uttar Pradesh’s government has made 17 airports and airstrips available for private sector investment, significantly boosting the state’s civil aviation industry.
According to the plan, private enterprises might now use these airstrips and hangars to run aviation training facilities, aero sports facilities, aviation MRO (maintenance repair and overhaul) facilities, etc.
Aligarh, Etawah, Kanpur Dehat, Farrukhabad, Shravasti, Azamgarh, Ambedkar Nagar, Sultanpur, Ghazipur, Kheri, Chitrakoot, Sonbhadra, Jhansi, Lalitpur, Meerut, Moradabad, and Ayodhya districts all have airstrips.
