At Sahnewal airport, delay is the way

Ludhiana: The extension plan of Sahnewal airport runway is again facing a delay with the extension feasibility report not being submitted even after a month since the survey was conducted. The aviation department was to receive this report within a week. This delay would replicate in the entire process of acquiring the land and extending the runway, if it is feasible.
The last time government had to acquire 7.5 acres of land to install DVOR system at the airport, the project was delayed by a couple of years.
The Punjab government has asked Airport Authority of India ( AAI) to submit a feasibility report on extending the Sahnewal airport runway from existing 4,800 feet to 7,500 feet and the probable hurdles this may encounter.
