It was agreed that the AAI would also take up the issue with its senior officials in New Delhi. The Nagpur airport, at present, is under the AAI administration and has singed a memorandum of understanding to transfer it to MADC. The entire Mihan project hinges on the transfer of Nagpur airport to MADC after which it would be further developed for upgrading it into a cargo hub.
