A plan to boost regional air travel is awaiting Cabinet approval. The government proposes new financial support for airlines serving remote areas. This aims to make flights to smaller cities more viable. The scheme, launched in 2016, currently offers subsidies and incentives. Officials believe the current funding model needs adjustment. This revamp could increase government investment and extend subsidy periods.
