These routes, with fares starting at an affordable ₹999, are already operational, offering enhanced travel options and promoting tourism in these culturally rich areas.

As UP evolves into a pivotal hub for connectivity, flybig is strategically positioned to extend the benefits of the UDAN Scheme to our customers.”
