Jagadish Shettar chaired the Belagavi Aerodrome Advisory Committee meeting and reviewed the ongoing expansion and infrastructure works at Sambra Airport, with a strong focus on improving connectivity and speeding up pending development projects.
During the meeting, Shettar held discussions with senior Air Force officials regarding the transfer of around 15 to 16 acres of land currently under Air Force control, which is required for the construction of a parallel taxiway and to meet mandatory DGCA safety norms. Officials informed the committee that a consolidated proposal for nearly 32 acres has already been forwarded by the district administration to the Karnataka government and is awaiting approval.
The MP also urged airline operators, including IndiGo and Star Air, to introduce new flights from Belagavi to cities such as Pune, Chennai, Ahmedabad and Jodhpur. The airline representatives reportedly responded positively to the request. Members also sought the restart of discontinued routes from Belagavi Airport.
To improve passenger convenience, the committee discussed introducing AC bus services between Belagavi Airport and the railway station based on flight timings, similar to services recently started at Hubballi Airport. The North Western Karnataka Road Transport Corporation officials were instructed to take immediate action on the proposal.
