Online travel services firm MakeMyTrip on Monday said it will partner with the Ministry of Civil Aviation to promote regional air connectivity through the UDAN scheme.
As the UDAN scheme completes four years of connecting major cities with regional hubs, MakeMyTrip will now power UDAN flights on the AirSewa portal and market them on its platform to promote its visibility and product discovery to provide air connectivity to underserved destinations, the company said in a statement.
MakeMyTrip will also market UDAN flights offline through its large network of franchisee retail stores for offline booking, it added. Quoting Minister for Civil Aviation, Jyotiraditya M Scindia, the statement said, “As the RCS-UDAN scheme completes four successful years – our enabling policies, incentives and partnerships with leading travel players will only improve air connectivity for the common man at affordable airfares on regional and remote routes”.
