The proposed greenfield airport at Hollongi in Arunachal Pradesh, when completed, would have better facilities than the recently inaugurated Pakyong Airport in Sikkim.
The benefits to come would be beyond one's imagination, the Union minister of state for Civil Aviation said while addressing the valedictory function of the 3-day ATAL (Arunachal Transformational and Aspirational Leaders) conclave here on Sunday.
Citing the advantages of the proposed airport at Hollongi, near here, he said, it has better topography and a larger runway.
"The proposed 2,200 metre runway at the greenfield airport can handle jet aircraft that can provide direct flight service to metro cities.
On demand, flight services can also be extended to international destinations," Sinha said.
A greenfield airport is an aviation facility that is planned, commissioned and built from scratch without destroying an existing structure.
About Rs 1,200 crore would be spent for the project, the 'bhoomi pujan of which will be held in December.
