Chennai: The air operations from Thanjavur and Vellore airports are likely to commence soon, with the Tamil Nadu government finalising the process of bidding with the airline operators.

According to sources, AAI has commenced work to prepare the airport for flights.
And Thanjavur airstrip is in use by the Indian Air Force and the ministry of civil aviation has held talks regarding exchange of land required at the airstrip for the commercial operations.
