Valmiki, as we know is the person

who wrote Ramayana They have named the airport in the name of Valmiki You can see a lawn in the front which isnt green due to winter They have made it look beautiful for the inauguration I had to struggle a bit to find the way through google map Unnichettan and his friend dropped me at the airport Before getting in here, let me tell you that I went to see the railway station yesterday Ayodhya Dham railway station Our PM Modiji had inaugurated it last day Unfortunately it was closed and I couldnt

get inside Anyways take a look at what I shot. By then let me get inside This is Ayodhya Dham Junction, the railway station in Ayodhya You may wonder is this what Modiji inaugurated This is the old railway station Next to it you have the new railway station building that Modijji inaugurated Ayodhya Dham railway station They have built the railway station just like the temple You can see the same concept at Udupi too People who have seen Udupi railway station would know it is almost like this. T

hey have built it influenced to local tradition You can see lot of policemen here Let us go inside and see Let us see what is the specialty here They have mentioned what are the amenities here Sony Tv has put up an ad here They have shown the ad of Ramayan on Sony Tv It is right in front of the railway station This looks like getting into the airport But it is closed. Cant we get inside? Work is still going on inside Though the inauguration is over, work is still going on The terminal is still c

losed This is the same stone used to make temples Yes, they use Pink Sand stone This is the same used at Red Fort It is the same used at Delhi They have done it beautifully You can see many gates like in an international airport or railway station Unfortunately we cannot get inside now. I shall show you through the door There is a lodge, staff room and much more. Boards are placed It is closed and I dont know why This is Ayodhya railway station Though many said it is done like a temple I feel it

is not only like a temple. Most of the buildings are like this only The parliament house is also the same. Agra fort and many other buildings are done in pink sand stone This is done in the North Indian way. Let us go and see the platform Lot of monkeys here All the temples have monkeys Lot of monkeys at the railway station too. Look at them jumping around. Work is going on at the platform You see gates like you dont see at any other railway stations You have 14 gates here I think because of th

e work going on here, Vande Bharat took us to the other station Hopefully once the temple opens, the railways station will also function You can see that the inauguration was done earlier before the work is completed Looks awesome. They have used the same pink sand stone bricks here too They have given it a beautiful design Looks beautiful Inauguration took place on 30th December. An Air India Express and Indigo had operated from Delhi to here that time. After that, the first flight will be oper

ating today That would be to Indigo flight to Delhi. We are taking that today There are departure gates here and arrival gates there It is a small airport. But they have done facilities for international flights here Let us show our ticket and id card and get inside the airport The design of the building is amazing Only outside work is pending Everything inside looks done. Looks good. Just one flight from here today and so it is not crowded Delhi-Ayodhya-Delhi flight I showed my id card and got

Only Indigo flight is going to operate from here today The flight from Delhi is yet to land and we will be flying back to Delhi in it Can see Indigo counter here Air India express counters are seen here. Today Indigo is operating to Delhi They have flights to Ahmedabad, Mumbai and many places Ticket bookings have begun on Indigo website The airport

code is AYJ You can see work going on inside the airport too Final work is going on You can see paintings from Ramayan done here This is the main attraction of this airport You can see the security check just behind You can finish your security check and sit inside there. The airport is just this much. They have 2 gates here On the other side you have the arrival gates It is a small airport But the development of a city is to be seen here I still remember going to Kannur Airport Kannur Airport

is improving now. Even Kochi was the same when they began I loved the paintings depicting stories from Ramayan 14 chapters of Ramayan have been done here in Kalamkari style I got my boarding pass. Ayodhya to Delhi The first flight from Ayodhya and this is my boarding pass This is a memory I will be flying by Indigo to Delhi and then to Cochin. Thank you so much Indigo Today is the first flight after the inauguration day I have got the boarding pass of it There is a reserved lounge that looks gol

den in colour with nice sofas No other lounge here You have the baggage screening counter here Since it is a small airport, you have the x-ray machine here Toilet and drinking water facilities are shown here Can see a digital display of Ayodhya airport with Modiji's photo Those who now Hindi can read this. Done with my security check. Apart from normal police men, big officers were also there You can see both the gates here. Our Indigo flight will land here any moment. Indigo flights are operati

ng to all the airports You can see lots about Ramayan here Nice to see the pictures done on the wall. You have a food court on top But I dont think it has begun to function Lot of space on top, but nothing to be seen The airport is just this much. You have 2 gates, food court and places to sit here You have chairs to sit here You have a shop here. Tea counters and rest are yet to open It has just been few days since the airport has been inaugurated The artists of Odisha has depicted this in thei

r way Important phases in the life of Hanumanji is what you see here There were lot of tolls connected to this airport The security officer, flight attender and airhostess would look or be like this etc I didnt see any like that. Original pics are kept here There was a controversy on naming the airport Usually we see airports named on politicians and people But they have named it as the person who wrote Ramayana Naming airports in this concept is there world wide It is nothing new here Very few

countries dont name the airport I dont have anything to say on that. I would say dont name anything You can see a model of the airport here The details of the architect and contractor are here Parking and terminal building are also seen here You can see the space to park 3 flights here 3 gates are shown but I could see only 2 gates The other one would be arrivals Our flight is on the way. But I am not able to track it on flight radar. AYJ or Ayodhya International airport is not yet updated in i

t. I think many are flying in Indigo today. Looks like it is full. All sitting here have come to fly in the same flight Indigo bus is parked there. I think the flight is going to be parked here. Can see the ground staff taking the steps in a tractor It is for people to get down and then in The weather is foggy A cafe has opened and many have gone to buy tea They have samosa and tea People are buying from there They are giving manual bills The flight is shown in flight radar but not when will it

land 36mts from Delhi to here \ I think it is about to land. You can see policemen there It is crowded now. The first flight from here is full We can see that when an airport is opened anywhere, people are ready to travel You can see pictures showing the making and details of the airport These are pictures taken during site development and construction The ground floor plan is also shown here During peak hours, the airport can accommodate nearly 600 passengers 10 lakh people can be handled a yea

r. They have 9 check in counters. Master plan and future plan are given here In future, these many flights can be parked here This is the existing one. It can be extended to a big airport in future. Our flight will land soon. The construction of this airport began in February 2022 They finished the work by the end of 20231 I dont think any airport was constructed and inaugurated so fast anywhere Indigo flight has landed here like a King The flight flew nearly 46-48mts from Delhi to reach here Lu

cknow is the closest airport here. 2-2.5hrs from Lucknow to here by road Less than 150km Lucknow and Ayodhya airports are like Kozhikode and Kannur As per the low cost airport projects by the Central government, Ayodhya is one of them You will have air connectivity to all the small and big cities in India this way As the cost of the airport increases, the service charge to be paid will also be high When the service charge goes up, it becomes a burden for passengers If low cost airports like this

come up, people can travel at a reasonable rate To travel by Vande Bharat from here to Delhi, you have to pay 3000/- You can pay 3000 to Indigo and fly to Delhi too That is if you book earlier Those are the differences When we did India on Wings earlier, we flew by Star Air from Hubli You have small airports at Hubli like this Those come under the low cost airport projects that the Central governmet does The 4yr old Indigo Airbus A320 flight has been parked here People who have come from Delhi

will get down here After that, we will board into this flight. All are very excited. There are lot of vloggers here I saw many people vlogging here Many are taking photos and videos in excitement Even if the airport is small, you need lot of ground staffs to handle everything Bus driver, luggage handling people and So many of them here. When an airport is up, so many people are employed. Before the flight stopped, people have already stood in the queue I dont know why are they in a hurry It will

take a long time for people to get out and their baggage to be transferred too I have decided to get in last. Let me go and have a samosa now. People are in a hurry to get into the flight I bought a samosa by then I shall have this and then and get in I finished having samosa. People who were standing in the queue have still not got in. People are still getting out of the flight People who stood in the queue in a hurry are now waiting outside UP police are behind the security of this airport Pe

ople are take to the flight in a bus People are still boarding the bus I bought a coffee too 150/- for this coffee at this small airport 2 samosas costed only 120/- but 150 for a coffee That is a bit expensive. Once this flight takes off, all here can go home. No more flights to operate from here today Security officers have already closed their counters. Though it is a small airport, aviation fare is to be paid here too They are filling fuel behind the aircraft Everything is well planned here.

I am going to go as the last passenger from Ayodhya today Flight was supposed to take off at 1.45. It will go at 1.55 now, 10mts late We are going to board the bus now. Along with the scanned boarding pass, they gave me this too Lot of houses near the airport They can look at the flight and sleep We dont have to take a bus actually. Might be a part of safety protocol Indigo is very fast in their actions. Once landed, baggage, passengers, fuel etc Everything is done fast. You can see the windscre

en being cleaned here by the ground staff When they spend crores to build a flight, can they have a wiper too? We have reached near the flight. People all over can travel to Ayodhya soon Otherwise they would have to go by road to Lucknow for 2.5hrs and fly Now you can fly directly from Ayodhya An airport was going to come in Aranmula There were many controversies on it. Finally that project was cancelled. Now we hear that one is coming near Sabarimala No idea. Airports should come all over like

bus stands. People will fly from everywhere. Now itself nearly 200 people are there to fly today Once many flights and airports come up, many will be employed. People dont think about future and try to stop good things happening When an express highway was planned for Kerala earlier, Many said it would divide Kerala Now what is happening? Isnt 6 lane roads coming up like that only now? Everything is for our future. It was supposed to come 15yrs back Now work is going on. This is Ayodhya terminal

It is a small terminal They have space and plans to expand it in future Let us get inside the flight. The flight is full All the seats are occupied. Though the flight is just 4yrs old, the seats are old But it is ok. Good leg space. My seat is 4F We are going to take off from Ayodhya All are calling out Jai Sri Ram Our flight took off from Ayodhya to Delhi Awesome. Superb take off That was my first kind of take off experience Since it is winter, you dont get to see anything I shall show you whe

n we reach Delhi. You wont see anything else It is foggy After 45mts of flying from Ayodhya to Delhi, we are going to land now I am not getting any focus. I slept for 30mts Can see an Air India flight. Looks like it is 777 It is all set to fly Corendon is seen here. It is registered in Turkey Uzbekistan Airlines is seen net to it. We reached Delhi and people have begun to go out. Let me also go No aerobridge Looks like we are parked else where We are at some corner. Can see Go Air aircrafts It i

s getting ruined. It has come to another terminal I have to go to another terminal to get my Kochi flight They dont have a connectivity from here to that terminal We have to take a bus or cab and go Let me see I have reached Terminal 2 It is a messy place We always think why do they have such a messy terminal in Delhi Indigo operates to Terminal 2 and Terminal 1. Transit is a big issue. People take 30mt to go from this terminal to the other from outside That is very difficult Since we dont have

another option, let us go. I dont know why does Indigo do that They should make it simple for people to travel Lot of deco and statues are seen here. To T1, it takes 16mts by bus or car 12mts to T3 and 10mts walk. T3 is close by You cannot walk to T1 You need a vehicle. How to go about it is given here They have free and paid bus services and transfers It would be so comfortable if they had metros to terminals like in Singapore It would be so easy for people to move around then If you show your

boarding pass, you will get free shuttle bus to that terminal You have free shuttle buses every 20mts Take a complimentary coupon to go by bus from this counter Next bus is at 3.40 is what is written here You have to show both the boarding passes, the one you came and next to go Only then you get the free pass to go. Get in the bus when it comes and go If you cannot wait or dont want free service, take a taxi and go You will have to pay 200/- The bus to T1 is here You can travel in this bus for

free and using free pass This is an electric bus of Delhi Transport Corporation You will be given 2 slips. One for the conductor and no need to pay We have reached T1 terminal. Renovation work going on here T3 is the best terminal here The whole airport is being renovated That is why it is so difficult in transit here If they had done inter connecting metro along with this, it would have been good. Let me find our gate. Hope we have space to sit at least. I have 2-3hrs for my next flight now. Be

cause of the renovation, everything is in small styles here I bought a chicken biriyani to eat. It is made elsewhere and brought here for sale Not like Sydney airport. Since this is India, it has a minimum guarantee taste I didnt have anything from the flight. Time to board our next flight We have to go down. Since renovation work is going on, it is confusing Mobile charging points are not working Wifi is slow. Jio internet wasnt available I could manage with Airtel. Everything was adjusted Noth

ing much to shoot. It is already night My flight is at 8pm. My flight is from gate 33 As usual, all the flights from Delhi would be full. You wont find any empty seats This is a brand new flight to Kochi. Brand new Airbus A 320 flight. My seat number is 1F. I am in the front row. Lot of leg space for the front seat Why are these kept closed? Hello 6E magazine is not seen in all the flights Only some have them. It is 11.19. I am getting out of the flight. At 11.21, I have reached the baggage coll

ecting point. Since I dont have any bags to collect, I am going out. At 11.23, I am outside the airport. I had left my car here. So let's go and take it. Here is my car. All ok? Whenever you park your vehicle, go and come back, take a look if everything is ok We have started our India on Wings here As a part of it, we flew from Kochi to Bangalore and took Vande Bharat Now we flew back from Ayodhya You can see our travels to new airports soon New airport has opened at Trichy. We shall go to Trich

y. To see the airport properly, we should go to the international I have planned an international trip to shoot that I will be having small trips until my house warming is over. Only then can I think of bigger trips Everything is at the final stage. I go mad when I reach there. You know how it is towards the end. I am super excited. Lots to do. I am going to Swethas house now. She is there. See you soon with our next video. Stay tuned. Stopping this video now. You will be seeing India on Wings a
