Highlighting the growth potential of the country's aviation sector, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said air travel in the country has become inclusive and affordable with the regional connectivity scheme as more people are travelling by air from smaller cities.

Modi also told representatives of Asia Pacific countries that they could also study the success of the scheme -- UDAN -- and pitched for creating a "network of opportunities" through aviation in the region.

Addressing the second Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference on Civil Aviation in the national capital, attended by nearly 300 representatives from 29 countries, Modi also suggested the idea of an international Buddhist circuit by way of Air connectivity that will benefit countries and people.

The prime minister emphasised efforts to create a network of opportunities in the Asia Pacific region that will drive economic growth, encourage innovation, and strengthen peace and prosperity.
