AAI earmarks Rs 250 crore for Surat airport development

Surat:  Airports Authority of India (AAI) has earmarked Rs250 crore for development of Surat airport so that international operations can be expanded from here.
In a document sought under Right to Information (RTI) Act, AAI chairman Guruprasad Mohapatra had written to Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) in May stating that necessary fund allocation for the development of Surat airport has been proposed.
At present, the airport handles about 36 flight movements per day to various destinations, operated by SpiceJet, AirAsia and Air India. Once IndiGo commences services in near future, flight movements could go up to 45. About 2,300 passengers travel daily to and from Surat airport.
