The Maharishi Valmiki International Airport in Ayodhya welcomed its first passengers, who expressed gratitude towards PM Modi for the development of the airport and the city's transformation. The passengers' excitement was palpable, with one comparing PM Modi to Lord Ram, as they arrived ahead of the Ram Temple's consecration scheduled for January 22.
IndiGo's inaugural flight to Ayodhya, soon after the city's airport was inaugurated by PM Modi, was dubbed "Pushpak vimaan" by passengers, referencing the mythological flying chariot from the Ramayana. Devotees from across India joined the flight, some carrying holy items, and chanted religious hymns, creating an electric atmosphere. Despite some passengers regretting paying higher fares due to early booking, the spiritual significance of the journey to the birthplace of Lord Ram and the first Tirthankar Rishabh Dev Ji overshadowed the cost concerns. Regular flights to Ayodhya by IndiGo and Air India Express are set to commence from January 6, connecting the city with major Indian metros.
