Congratulations to Gujarat! But I hope this "air connectivity to the common man" promise is real. Right now, air travel is still a luxury for most middle-class families. Need more affordable regional flights.

As someone from Ahmedabad, I've seen the improvements firsthand. The new terminal at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport is world-class. Good to see the state getting recognition for its efforts.

Winning this award three times in a row (2022, 2024, 2026) shows this is not a one-off achievement but a consistent policy. Kudos to the Gujarat government for the long-term vision.

The aircraft leasing sector part is crucial. If Gujarat becomes a hub for this, it can attract major international players and investments. Big step for 'Make in India' in aviation.
