The Airport Authority of India(AAI) will develop a new terminal which is likely to boost the connectivity to the region with the commercial flights for Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. The terminal building with an estimated expenditure of Rs 76 crore is expected to accommodate 200 people and will be developed by May next year.
The move came under the umbrella of the Modi government’s ambitious Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik (UDAN) scheme aimed at improving the regional connectivity by expanding civil aviation network across the country.
