Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said his government was working on a mission mode for expansion of the aviation sector and that India was poised to become the third largest aviation market in the world


Praising his government for being the first to come out with an aviation policy, Modi said, “It is estimated that after five years, population of the size of the entire US will be travelling through our airports in a year. Imagine the kind of growth the sector will witness. India is soon expected to emerge as the third largest aviation market. This will boost economy and also increase employment,” he said


The PM was speaking after dedicating the new integrated terminal building of the Vadodara International Airport, Gujarat’s first green airport and second in the country after the one at Kochi in Kerala.
Modi also made indirect references to the recent surgical strikes at Navlakhi ground later in the day while speaking at Samajik Adhikarita Shivir held to distribute aid and appliances to 10,000 disabled

He asked the audience at Navlakhi what was India widely appreciated for these days. Expectedly, the crowd shouted ‘surgical strike’. Modi repeated the question and got the same reply. But he said that the country was being recognized as the fastest growing economy amongst the big economies of the world


Modi mentioned surgical strike while talking about how his government had ensured that around Rs 36,000 crore was saved by directly depositing subsidy in banks and another Rs 65,000 crore came in the mainstream when black money was disclosed


“After you gave the responsibility as PM within a short period we had taken up two important works, including one for which Gujarat had been struggling for the last five decades. It had struggled, had faced hardships to get Sardar Sarovar dam’s height increased. We gave permission for that immediately after coming to power,” said Modi


“Secondly, in June-July 2014 , we started work for construction of the new airport and I am happy that after the new government took over, two airports have become part of the green movement including the one at Kochi and now at Vadodara,” he said.
The Prime Minister said the country is huge and 80 to 100 airports were not enough
