Hubli airport director K.M. Basavaraju has said that about 90 per cent of the work on fixing of the boundary of the Hubli airport had been completed. The airport is being expanded to make it an all-weather airport.
Mr. Basavaraju told presspersons here on Monday that the Government had acquired and handed over 598 acres of land for the airport expansion.
According to Mr. Basavaraju, 615 acres of land was required for expansion of the airport. “As some 10 acres of land is under dispute, the district administration will resolve it and then hand it over to the AAI.”
The expansion of Hubli airport would be taken up in three phases. In the first phase, boundary wall measuring 13 km would be constructed.
“An initial estimate of Rs. 30 crore has been made for the work to be taken up in the first phase. Two other works that will be taken up will be extension of the runway and construction of the terminal building,” he said.
