Why Global Airlines Are Rushing to India's Untapped Aviation Goldmine | Rammohan Naidu

India's tier-2 cities are sitting on a massive, untapped aviation goldmine. Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu highlights the explosive growth in regional airports, citing Vijayawada's staggering 500% passenger surge and Guwahati's massive domestic footfall.

With a diaspora of 35 million overseas Indians and a wellness tourism market projected to cross $43 billion, the demand for direct global flights is higher than ever.
