Union Civil Minister Naidu Inaugurates 10 New Flights From Hindon Airport
'Inaugurated 10 new flights from Hindon Airport today, alongside Hon'ble MP of Ghaziabad, Shri @AtulGargBJP Ji. Congratulations to IndiGo for commencing its operations from Hindon. Starting today, @IndiGo6E will operate direct flights connecting Hindon with Bengaluru, Chennai, Goa, Kolkata, Mumbai, Patna and Varanasi, along with two new routes to Ahmedabad and Indore," he wrote on X. This marks a significant step towards strengthening air connectivity for the Delhi NCR region, offering convenient travel options for Ghaziabad, Noida, East and Central Delhi and parts of Western Uttar Pradesh. Naidu said, 'Until February, air services were operated by small flight operators from Hindon Airport. At that time, it seemed that Hindon Civil Terminal was a backup airport of Delhi. Hindon Civil Terminal is now moving towards becoming the backbone airport of Delhi rather than a backup airport," Naidu said. The Union Minister stated that Air India flights from the airport, which commenced operations in March, have consistently achieved over 90% occupancy, prompting the ministry to consider further expansion. 'We are trying to start air services from Hindon Civil Terminal to various cities of Uttar Pradesh, including Lucknow, Prayagraj, and Kanpur. The number of passengers has increased at Hindon Airport, so now it is being considered to expand the facilities of the airport," he said. He, however, added that expansion of the airport would need at least nine acres of land. Hindon Airport was developed in 2019 under the visionary UDAN scheme launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, transforming an unserved airport into a promising Civil Enclave.

Indigo resumes operation on Middle Eastern routes as airports reopen
New Delhi [India], June 24 (ANI): Indigo has announced that it is 'prudently and progressively' resuming operations on Middle Eastern routes as airports across the region gradually reopen. As per an official statement, the airlines said that they continue to monitor the situation closely and fully consider the safest available flight paths to ensure secure and seamless travel. In a post on X on Tuesday, Indigo said, 'As airports across the Middle East gradually reopen, we are prudently and progressively resuming operations on these routes.' 'We continue to monitor the situation closely and are fully considering the safest available flight paths to ensure secure and seamless travel. Please stay updated via our mobile app or website,' it further reads. Earlier, IndiGo announced the suspension of its flights to and from the Middle East due to the 'evolving situation'. In a post on X, the airlines announced that all flights going to and coming from Doha, Dubai, Dammam, Bahrain, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah, Madinah, Muscat, Sharjah, Jeddah, Riyadh, Tbilisi and Ras Al-Khaimah 'have been suspended at least until 1000 hrs today'. This came amid the ongoing conflict in the West Asia region. United States President Donald Trump announced on Monday (local time) what he described as a 'complete and total' ceasefire between Israel and Iran, stating that it would take effect in approximately six hours. The conflict began on June 13 when Israel launched a massive airstrike on Iranian military and nuclear sites, code-named 'Operation Rising Lion'. In retaliation, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) initiated a large-scale drone and missile campaign called 'Operation True Promise 3', targeting Israeli fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply centres. Tensions escalated further after the US conducted precision airstrikes early Sunday morning on three key Iranian nuclear facilities under 'Operation Midnight Hammer'. Iran retaliated by launching multiple missiles at US military installations in Qatar and Iraq, including the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest US military base in the region, CNN reported.
