Hyderabad airport nears completion

Hyderabad: The new Hyderabad international airport at Shamshabad here is nearing completion and will commence its first commercial operations on March 16 next year.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy on Thursday wrote a letter to ruling UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, requesting her to inaugurate the airport named after her late husband, former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
On March 16, 2005, Sonia Gandhi had laid the foundation stone for the world-class airport, the country’s first airport project under a public-private partnership, said a statement from the chief minister’s office.
“The airport will be a boon to Greater Hyderabad, and it will be a big day for Andhra Pradesh and the nation, when Sonia Gandhi dedicates the Greenfield airport to the nation,” said the chief minister while reviewing the progress of the project with top officials.
He said the inauguration of the airport would attract huge investments in all sectors of development in Greater Hyderabad.
