Hyderabad: The Telangana government is focusing on new airports in the state. Although Kothagudem in Khammam district tops the list of the state government priorities in this regard other districts such as Adilabad, Warangal and Nizamabad are also under active consideration.
Khammam: The state government commissioned RITES Consultancy of Gurgaon for the pre-feasibility study for an airport at Punukuduchelka village in Kothagudem mandal of the district. The firm on it behalf did a research on the weather conditions of Punukuduchelka in the past five years. After due consideration of several other factors it concluded that the land in the area was not cultivated, it does not fall under restricted airspace of the defence authorities and is in good proximity to major industries.
Following this report submitted by RITES in November last year, the State government ordered a 'Techno Economic Feasibility' study of the region. The study will cover aspects such as potential air traffic, soil conditions, potential impact on environment, engineering challenges and financial considerations. The Telangana is expected to take a final decision on the airport at Kothagudem once the Techno Economic Feasibility report is received by it. Following this it might submit a formal request for the airport to the Central goverment.
