In this sequence, the first flight from Noida International Airport departed for Lucknow on Monday, creating an emotional and historic moment for several farmers. The most remarkable aspect of this flight was that it carried as passengers the very farmers who had given their land for the construction of the airport. As the farmers arrived at Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport in Lucknow, their faces reflected happiness, pride and deep emotion. They had travelled directly from their own village to the state capital by air.

Expressing gratitude towards the Chief Minister, he said that rapid development was taking place across the state and that it was transforming the lives of ordinary people.
