AAI survey over, ball now in govt court to acquire land

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has completed the ground survey for the proposed international airport, slated to come up in Chakan-Rajgurunagar. It presented its final recommendations to the state government last month. The ball is now in the government's court to initiate land acquisition.
These developments were revealed by the Mahratta Chamber of Commerce Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA) in a press conference on Wednesday.
The state government has already notified the area for the airport two years ago. Now, the Chamber hopes the IAF headquarters will give its No-Objection Certificate or an NOC for the new site and pave way for the proposed airport.
The state government has so far acquired a plot of 800 hectares. The proposed airport would require around 2,000 to 3,500 hectares of land.
