Bhadradri Kothagudem: With the steering committee on greenfield airports granting site clearance for the proposed greenfield airport project at Kothagudem, the coal town, which is the administrative headquarters of the recently formed Bhadradri Kothagudem district, has emerged as the most prospective region in Telangana to promote regional air connectivity.
Kothagudem’s potential in terms of air traffic and cargo demand owing to its proximity to the vast industrial corridor, dotting a host of public sector and private industrial giants, and the famous pilgrim centre of Bhadrachalam, makes it the ideal choice for setting up of an airport.
The State government had identified 1,600 acres at Punukuduchelaka village, situated about 20 km from Kothagudem, for the project.
The site is located at a distance of about 240 km from the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamshabad and 232 km from the Indian Air Force Academy at Dundigal near Hyderabad.
Situated at 136 km in south east direction, Gannavaram airport near Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh is the nearest civilian airport to Kothagudem. A civil enclave is situated on the Indian Navy airbase at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh about 280 km from Kothagudem. The defunct civil airport at Mamnoor near Warangal is located about 117 km from Kothagudem, sources added.
