Jaipur Airport's runway project deferred by 6 months

Jaipur: The much-awaited expansion and streamlining of the Jaipur Airport runway has been deferred by six months.
This means that the big aircrafts like Boeing 747 will continue to elude the premier international airport in the city.
The runway work at Jaipur Airport was slated to begin from October, but owing to some difficulties in processing of tenders, the entire exercise will at least take another six months to start.
The major project was cleared by Airports Authority of India (AAI) some eight months ago. Entire work of extending and strengthening the runway was expected to take up to two years to complete.
With the crucial work not likely to commence before February-March 2012, the planned partial closure of the airport's runway from next month will no longer take place, sources with the Jaipur Airport said.
