Pune: After years of delay, the work on the much-awaited project of proposed international airport for Pune is likely to take off soon as authorities are confident that the Pune international airport will become operational before Navi Mumbai international airport.
Divisional commissioner Prabhakar Deshmukh on Tuesday said that after the report of the obstacle level survey (OLS) being carried out by an agency from Nashik, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) would give its nod for the proposed international airport at Khed.
Deshmukh said that the OLS is in its final stages and after the agency submits its report to the AAI, subsequent action would be taken. The administration already has made it clear that for the new site no cultivable land is required to be acquired and there are plans to acquire more than 1,700 hectares for the international airport project.
