Surat: The district administration has identified three potential sites in Surat and Navsari districts for the proposed development of greenfield airport, which would be much bigger than the existing airport in Surat. As per information sought under the right to information (RTI) Act by citybased RTI activist Rajesh Modi, the district collector’s office stated that the process to identify new sites for development of greenfield airport is over and the report is submitted to chief secretary, Gujarat, JN Singh for further action. Three government land sites —two in Surat’s Olpad taluka and one
in Navsari district’s Jalalpore taluka — have been identified for the new greenfield airport, located within the radius of 40 kilometre.
TOI was the first to break the story on the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the state government mulling a bigger airport within 40 km radius of the existing airport on March 29 this year. The sites have been identified in Olpad’s Kuwad and Pinjrat villages and Vansi Borsi village in Navsari’s Jalalpore taluka respectively.
