Senior government officials in the civil aviation department have said that the proposed Pune international airport project is not likely take off this year as the land for the project has not been finalised. The stalemate over the suitable land for the project and opposition from the land owners have grounded the project, they said. The state government has not been able to finalise the site for the project for the past 10 years.
“All other projects in Pune are seeing some progress but the airport project is just not taking off due to land issue. The two sites at Khed and Rajgurunagar where the Airport Authority of India conducted a detailed survey are being opposed by farmers. Unless there is some progress, we cannot take the project forward. The two meetings held on the issue turned out to be inconclusive,’’ said officials.
