India: Third-Largest Domestic Aviation Market✈️
Speaking at the IATA AGM, held in India for the first time in 42 years, Modi emphasized that India should not only be viewed as a major aviation market, but also as an emerging global leader across the aviation value chain—from design to delivery.
Ready for Interplanetary Travel🚀
“Humans are dreaming of commercializing space flights and interplanetary travels,” Modi said, acknowledging this future is still in development. “But this shows how transformative and innovative the aviation sector is becoming. India is ready for all these possibilities,” he added.
Transformation Under UDAN Scheme📊

Innovation, Talent & Policy: India's Aviation Pillars🧠
PM Modi outlined the three foundational pillars propelling India’s aviation growth:
- Vast Aspirational Market✅: Not just consumers, but a reflection of India’s ambition.
