New Delhi: A high-level Environment Ministry panel has given the nod to the development of no-frill airports at Kishangarh in Rajasthan’s Ajmer and Belagavi in Karnataka.
The Expert Appraisal Committee for Projects related to Infrastructure Development, however, did not express a lenient view towards proposal by Airport Authority of India (AAI) to have a Greenfield Airport at Holongi river plain in Arunachal Pradesh, said sources.
The AAI had approached the Environment Ministry to upgrade and modernise the existing Belagavi airport to facilitate operation of four flights of A-321 aircraft per day. Currently, it handles ATR-72 aircraft only.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the state government and AAI for the modernisation of Belagavi airport.
The area of the existing airport is 360.34 acres, and an additional 370 acres have been provided for the expansion phase by the state government. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 293.35 crore.
