Bhubaneswar: The State Government on Thursday requested the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to advise Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) at Sunabeda for development of the airstrip at Jeypore in Koraput district for commercial operations.
“The development of this airstrip, including its expansion, will facilitate the landing of Avro and other category of aircraft.
The State Government would like to have the airstrip developed so that it is fit for commercial operations,” Chief Secretary G C Pati wrote to Union Secretary, Department of Defence Production, G Mohan Kumar.
Pati suggested that HAL may be advised to expand the airstrip to facilitate transport of aircraft engines manufactured at its Sunabeda facility by air instead of transporting by road to Visakhapatnam.
Considering the establishment of various industries, including Nalco and HAL in Jeypore area, the Government hopes that it would be commercially viable.
