Hyderabad: With their location beyond any restricted airspace, Adilabad and Kothagudem emerged favourite sites for development of airports in Telangana.
In a preliminary study of six sites for development of airports in the State taken up by the Airports Authority of India, it was found that Warangal, Basanthnagar, Jakranpally and Mahabubnagar were not as suitable as Adilabad and Kothagudem. The study report, the copy of which was accessed by The Hindu, stated that both sites at Adilabad (Khanapur village of Adilabad mandal) and Kothagudem (Gollagudam and Peta Cheruvu villages) were located beyond any restricted airspace.
‘Hence Airspace and Air Traffic Service (ATS) routes to connect these sites (being considered for development of airports) with other airports can be developed,’ the report said. Operation of ATR-72 and Q-400 type aircraft can be started initially at these two places. Eventually, expansions can be made by upgrading the airports to operate bigger aircraft like A-320 and B-737, according to the report.
