Aurangabad airport to get international edge

Aurangabad: If things go as planned by the Airport Authority of India (AAI), the ongoing upgrade of the Aurangabad airport will not only increase tourist traffic to the city, but will also open up doors for better commercial network with the rest of the world.
The revamp of the airport, when completed, will allow wide-bodied aircrafts run by chartered flight operators to land at the airport.
The AAI sources told DNA on Monday that the proposed development project includes construction of new passenger terminal and ancillary facilities, and construction of a new, wider apron beside two-way taxi tracks.
Civil aviation minister Prafulla Patel, who had laid the foundation of this project in January 2006, had promised it would be completed within a span of one year.
