Patna: The move to shift the Jayaprakash Narayan International Airport to Nalanda, the home district of chief minister Nitish Kumar, has evoked strong protest from different quarters.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI), while maintaining that the Patna airport was unfit for the operation of bigger aircraft like Airbus 320 and Boeing 737, had identified 101 obstructions on either side of the runway which were dangerous for aircraft landing in the state capital.
