These airports have been picked from among the over 400 airports and airstrips within the country, most of which are barely operational, under directions from the top level in the government to leverage the existing aviation infrastructure. These include Aizawl, Kota, Muzaffarpur, Satna, Ziro, Jalgaon, Asansol, Malda, Jharsuguda, Khandwa, Panna, Raxaul, Vellore, Tezu, Agatti, Akola, Belgaum, Cooch-Behar, Gaya, Gorakhpur, Hubli, Kolhapur, Kandla, Kullu, Pantnagar and Rajahmundry, among others.
