ମୁଖ୍ୟ ତଥ୍ୟ
Remember these
- A state civil aviation policy will be placed before the next Karnataka State Cabinet meeting for clearance.
- The policy aims to support aviation infrastructure and regional connectivity across the state.
- Airways, aircraft and air navigation fall in the Union List (Entry 29), so state policy works within central law.
- UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik), launched in 2016 by the Ministry of Civil Aviation, is the central regional connectivity scheme.
- The Airports Authority of India (AAI) manages most civil airports; Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport is Karnataka's main hub.

How the exam will ask it
ପ୍ରିଲିମ୍ସ
- Statement: The Union Government has exclusive legislative power over airways, aircraft and air navigation under the Union List.
- Statement: UDAN is a regional connectivity scheme of the Ministry of Civil Aviation launched in 2016 to make air travel affordable.
- Statement: Under Article 164(2), the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the State Legislative Assembly.
ମେନ୍ସ
GS Paper 3 (infrastructure) and GS Paper 2 (federalism). Aviation is a Union subject, yet states shape it through land, incentives and airport support; a state policy can attract investment and link smaller cities, but it must align with central schemes like UDAN and regulator norms. Way forward: coordinate with AAI and DGCA, focus on viable regional airports and balanced development beyond Bengaluru.
