The announcement came after Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai met Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinzarapu Ram Mohan Naidu at Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan in New Delhi. During the meeting, they discussed enhancing air connectivity in the state and the development of regional airports.
The Union Minister expressed agreement on launching international flight services from Raipur’s Swami Vivekananda Airport in the near future.
