India is exploring a partnership with the Czech Republic to develop and manufacture 19-seater, 40-seater and 90-seater aircraft in the country, aimed at meeting regional air connectivity needs under the UDAN scheme and serving global markets, the Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu said.
The proposal was discussed during a meeting with Czech Deputy Prime Minister Karel Havlíček, with a focus on combining India's growing demand for regional air travel with Czech expertise in aircraft manufacturing.
