After Indian Air Force nod, Jodhpur new airport plan gets wings

Jodhpur: The Indian Air Force has finally given its nod for development of a green field airport, an extension of the existing civil terminal here.
With the no-objection from IAF to a land nearly 12,000 feet away from the existing runway, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) said it will give a boost to the expansion plans which will suffice the needs of the civil airport for the next 10 to 12 years.
Operating from the air force station area, the Jodhpur civil airport currently has 12 acres of land and considering the growing demand with Jodhpur emerging on the national horizon of trade, real estate and education, there is a dire need of the airport's expansion, the airport's director S N Borkar said.
