Madhya Pradesh is preparing for one of its biggest aviation pushes in years. The state government has set a target of an airport every 150 km, an airstrip every 75 km, and a helipad every 45 km, covering the entire state from major cities down to remote districts. Alongside this, permanent helipads are planned in all 230 assembly constituencies, according to a TOI report.
The expansion falls under the state's Civil Aviation Policy 2025. Officials say the plan is not just about air travel for passengers, it also ties into faster emergency medical response, a bigger push for tourism, and new international flight links from the state.
