The committee headed by secretary, Civil Aviation (MOCA) in New Delhi considered the four new airports projects. “The committee recommended ‘in principle‘ approval to three projects in AP while recommended for ‘site clearence to the project of Kothagudem in Telangana,” an official release said. Kothagudem is the second Greenfield Airport after the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Shamshabad which is 240 km away from Kothagudem. The district administration has aquired 1,500 acres land at Punuguduchelaka village in Kothagudem mandal for the airport.
Kothagudem airport will become viable as there is no airport close to Khammam. The famous Sri Sitaramachandra Swamy temple at Bhadrachalam considered next to Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh is thronged by tourists from north India. Also, the presence of SSCL, paper mills, heavy water plant and other industries will utilise the airport services. Proposal for establishing a Greenfield airport at Kothagudem got a fillip when the Telangana Government asked RITES Limited to undertake further stages of project.
