Jet Airways on Monday announced the launch of operations under the 'Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik' (UDAN) scheme from June 14.

The airline has been awarded four routes under the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) and will launch operations on three new routes out of the four routes awarded, and will subsequently launch flights on Lucknow-Bareilly-Delhi-Bareilly-Lucknow route.

Jet Airways Whole-time Director Gaurang Shetty said, “Having pioneered the operations of the ATR aircraft in India, the launch of these new flights mainly on-board ATR aircraft, will allow Jet Airways to embark on a journey to ensure that unserved regions and underserved airports are maximised to their full potential."
