Demand for air connectivity for Surat gathers momentum

Surat: The City Plus multiplex group celebrated its eight anniversary on Sunday with a 100-kg cake in the shape of Surat airport to highlight the city's long-pending demand for air connectivity.
The 16 feet long and 2.5 feet wide cake has a runway, air port building, control towers and a small plane flying over the runway, with the banner, 'We want air connectivity'.
"We hope city gets proper air connectivity in the beginning of the New Year,'' said Danny Nirbang of the multiplex, situated near to the airport.
The change of guard in the Union civil aviation ministry frustrated many businessmen of the city as the scheduled beginning of Spice jet flight from Delhi-Surat-Mumbai and return from December 15, 2011, did not materialize at the last moment.
