Nagpur: Work on building a taxiway to connect the maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) depot for Boeing aircraft with the airport has resumed after project affected persons (PAPs) blockading the site lifted their siege. Residents of Shivangaon village had stalled the work on a 500-metre patch demanding better compensation package for their land acquired by the government.
The taxiway is being built by Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC) to facilitate movement of aircraft between MRO depot and airport. This is an alternative to the second runway originally planned. With land acquisition yet to be completed for the runway, it was decided to go-ahead with the taxiway option. MADC is spending Rs 87 crore to build the taxiway.
