A year gone, Adampur airport awaits take-off

Jalandhar: Despite spending Rs 18 cr on the construction of the domestic terminal at the Adampur airport in the last two years, there has been no news on the commencement of the proposed flight by Spicejet to Delhi.
Adampur airport, the much hyped project of the Union Minister of State for Social justice and Empowerment (MSJ&E) and BJP’s state president Vijay Sampla, seems to have landed in trouble after the airlines operator entered into a deadlock with Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) over the operation of the proposed flight from terminal T2 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) at New Delhi.
Though the airline authorities could not be contacted, sources claimed that while DIAL has asked Spicejet to transfer one-third of its operations to terminal T2 from terminal T1 due to congestion, the latter refused to do so and was adamant on operating it from terminal T1 only.
While the district administration is through with the completion of the airport terminal, the commencement of the flights is expected to take some more time.
