More land required for airport at Jakranpally

Nizamabad: Hopes on the proposed airport at Jakranpalli are up again with officials from Airports Authority of India (AAI) visiting the site for survey near the Jakranpally mandal headquarters in the last two days. The four-member team from New Delhi, accompanied by the Revenue officials, inspected the site spread over 1,200 acres.
The conditions they set for undertaking airport construction, however, created a doubt over their permission for the airport.
The four-member team which thoroughly surveyed the site for two days, said that for the mini-airport construction, 1,500 acre land would be required, but the proposed site was spread over 1,200 acres. In the available site, only a run way could be constructed. For constructing an airport, land measuring 1.5 km x 4 km would be required, they said.
The AAI officials expressed satisfaction at the location of the place as it was flat and not surrounded by hills or high places.
