Airport will cater to small aircraft in phase-I: Min
Venkat Reddy said the work will be speeded up. In the first phase, it will cater to small aircraft for regional and inter-state operations. In the second phase, it will be operating round-the-clock international flights using large planes such as A320 and B737 and cargo planes, he added. Roads and buildings special chief secretary Vikas Raj told TOI: “Already, collectors have completed most of the land acquisition. On our part, we will try to provide connecting roads, electricity, water supply and all facilities to make the airport commercially operational. Construction of the runway, airport terminal and air traffic control tower will be speeded up in coordination with AAI and permissions from the Director General of Civil Aviation.”
The state govt had earlier issued a GO for acquisition of 256 acres, allocating Rs 205 crore for the purpose. Mamnoor airport already possesses 696 acres.
