Jets of VIPs to be parked at 12 airports across 5 states

The Civil Aviation Ministry is coordinating the organized parking of chartered aircraft set to transport VIP guests for the consecration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has identified 12 airports in five states—UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, MP, and Uttarakhand—for parking private and chartered jets. However, the recently inaugurated Maharishi Valmiki International Ayodhya Airport, with only four parking spaces for single-aisle jets, poses a challenge. One of these limited slots will be exclusively reserved for PM Modi’s aircraft, India One.
