Rudrapur: After the Airports Authority of India (AAI) announced flights between Pantnagar and Dehradun recently, the authorities concerned have also begun work to give the airport at Pantnagar a swanky look. Sources said that a private company from Delhi has been hired to upgrade the airport in the next three months. It will have an upgraded terminal, the runway would be developed and an officers' colony would also be built, the sources added. "Focus is on using conventional sources of energy to run the airport," said SK Singh, director of Pantngar airport.
"Work for the Rs 5-crore project has commenced as the blueprint for developing the airport is being prepared. It will also have all modern amenities for flyers," Singh said. Improved connectivity between Dehradun and Pantnagar will not only attract more tourists but also lead to an increase in trade, the official added.
The airport terminal, once developed, will have green energy lights, modern instrument landing system and high precision lights. These mediums will be operated with the use of solar energy mostly. "Expansion of the airport is also underway. Demarcation has been done and land is being acquired. A team of specialists from Delhi and one from the state government with the help of specialists from GB Pant University have visited the spot to complete the demarcation of land for expanding the airport.
