The Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC), the nodal agency appointed to develop the Rajgurunagar airport, is awaiting the Airports Authority of India’s (AAI) response on a ‘pre-feasibility study of the site’.

The airport project is estimated to cost Rs 5,048 crore.
In a letter to the AAI on July 14, the MADC asked for the study of the site spread out on 1,650 hectares in five villages — Koye, Dhamne, Pait, Raudharwadi and Askhed Budruk of Rajgurunagar in Khed taluka.
