Karnataka: Belagavi to get India's first miniature airport

Belagavi: The border town of Belagavi is set to host India's first miniature airport on the lines of Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany. The Rs 6-crore project under the Smart City programme is expected to make the district a major tourist attraction in the country. "The decision on miniature airport was taken a fortnight ago. The deputy commissioner will head the planning committee, which will have a member from the Indian Air Force," said Shashidhar Kurer, managing director of Belagavi Smart City.
"The miniature airport will showcase all operations - check-in, boarding, takeoff, landing and parking of aircraft. Children can learn about functioning of the airports. Aviation enthusiasts will enjoy this experience as the Belagavi facility will also have a runway," he added.
Belagavi Smart City Ltd has tentatively identified land near Vaccine Depot Grounds in the city for the project.
