New Delhi: The ministry of civil aviation is likely to select Bhiwadi, a town in Rajasthan near New Delhi, as the spot for the country's first cargo airport and make Jewar in Greater Noida the second passenger airport in the National Capital Region.
"It would make sense to make Bhiwadi the first cargo airport in the region. We are discussing it as a possibility," said a senior official, who did not want to be identified. "One will have to cross Delhi airport to reach Bhiwadi.
So, what is the point of shifting the airport beyond the existing airport? An airport in Jewar would complement the existing airport and help decongest the existing airport," the official added.
