In a recent analysis, the Centre of Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) said that while government is trying to device policies for creating a robust regional connectivity, they lack feasibility.

The CAPA report said that currently, 36% of the total domestic capacity is deployed only to connect six metros in the country.
