'You will love to miss a flight at Nagpur'

Nagpur: Most of the land required for an international hub airport at Nagpur has been acquired and more than two-thirds of the construction work of the accompanying special economic zone (SEZ) has been completed, a top official has said.
The Indian cabinet gave permission on Jan 17 to upgrade the Ambedkar International Airport at Nagpur into a world-class aviation hub for passengers and cargo at a cost of Rs.26 billion ($650 million) with the status of a special economic zone.
"The airport will see world-class development and so beautiful it will be, you would love to miss a flight here," R.C. Sinha, vice-chairman and managing director of Maharashtra Airport Development Co (MADC), told IANS.
Nearly 3,000 of the required 4,311 hectares of land required for the project has already been acquired and more than two-third of the infrastructure work in its SEZ component completed, Sinha said.
MADC is developing the project jointly with Airports Authority of India.
