With passenger traffic, aircraft movement and cargo handling reaching a new high, the Tamil Nadu government has taken steps to speed up land acquisition for expanding six airports in the state.
In response, airlines have started showing interest in operating more flights from Salem, Trichy, Tuticorin, Madurai and Coimbatore which have huge potential for domestic and international connectivity.
The civil aviation ministry and the state government have been holding a series of meetings to complete the expansion plan and district collectors have issued notifications to acquire land to speed up land acquisition. Transfer of defence land in Chennai and Trichy will take place soon, sources said.
Orders have been issued to acquire 99 acres of land for Chennai airport expansion, while release of Rs166 crore has been sanctioned towards acquisition of 466 acres of patta land in Madurai. In Coimbatore, the state has released `176 crore towards interim award and laid out plans to revise compensation for land in 22 revenue blocks. The plan is to acquire 134 acres of defence land as well. The process is on to acquire 338 acres from defence estates in Trichy.
