Kolhapur: The proposed development of Kolhapur and Karad airports is on track with officials concerned busy completing paperwork to undertake construction work at both the places. While the Kolhapur airport is already functional but will be expanded with some assured air connectivity, the officials of Karad airport, which is comparatively small in size, are set to finish the bureaucratic work by the end of November.
The state government and Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) handed over around 223 hectares of land to Airports Authority of India (AAI) for the development of Kolhapur airport. The entire project will be developed by AAI, said Ashok Patil, regional officer of MIDC.
The KMC had ownership of 223 hectares of land at Ujalaiwadi near the city since the last 15 years, but could not develop it into a fully operational airport.
