The Government of India\u2019s UDAN scheme has given wings even to the lower middle-class for domestic air travel since its inception in 2017<\/strong>. UDAN, a Hindi word for flight, is an acronym for Ude Desh Ka Aam Naagrik that means \u201cMay common people travel by air\u201d. UDAN is a regional air connectivity development program that makes domestic air travel affordable for commoners from regional and remote areas of India.<\/p>\n Common people from remote areas, who have never been to an airport, feel at a loss while flying for the first time due to their unfamiliarity with airport signages and aviation vocabulary<\/strong>. Specifically, senior citizens feel helpless amidst a crowd of English-speaking urbane travelers with Bluetooth earphones plugged into their ears, and with smartphones keeping them connected to the virtual world. Anxious looks of first-time flyers from rural India are a common sight to behold at major airports.<\/p>\n
