AIRWAYS
In rugged terrain and in places which cannot be reached by
roads and railways, airways are the only means of transportation. In earlier
days the airways in India was under the control of Public Sector Undertakings
like Air India and Indian Airlines. Even though most of the states of India
have domestic airports, international airports are comparatively few.

investors made possible the realization of this airport.
Water Transport
The cost of construction and maintenance of water transport
route is less compared to that of road and railway networks. Rivers, canals and
6400 km long coastline increase the possibility of water transport in India.
Water Transport is divided into Ocean Water Transport and Inland Water
Transport. Transportation through the rivers and lakes inside the land is known
as Inland Water Transport.
India Water Transport is concentrated in the River Ganga,
River Brahmaputra and in their tributaries, River Godavari, River Krishna and in their canals,
in Buckingham Canals of Andhra Pradesh and Tamilnadu, River Mandovi and River
Suvari in Goa, and in the backwaters of Kerala.
The National Water Transport Authority has declared major
