AAI team inspects site for greenfield airport in Ahmedabad

A team from the Airport Authority of India (AAI) today inspected the site of the proposed cargo and passenger Green Field airport near Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) in Ahmedabad district.
"A seven-member AAI team today visited the proposed site for green field airport at Dholera," Gujarat Chambers of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) real estate committee chairman Vijay Shah said.
Shah had met the team yesterday as a representative of the Chamber and briefed them about the requirements of the new airport in the Ahmedabad district as the existing airport here has no potential for expansion, he said.
The team, with AAI general manager R Rajshekhar as its co-ordinator, will also conduct techno-economical feasibility
study for the proposed airport and would submit the report to the ministry of civil aviation, he said, adding the team will
study traffic potential, size of airport, cost of infrastructure and run-way orientation.
