In a fresh draft plan for the expansion of Kangra Airport, Gaggal, the Airport Authority of India (AAI) has proposed to increase the runway length to 3,010m.
Initially, the plan was to increase the runway length to 1,920m. The state government gave in-principle approval for the expansion of the airport but the draft was rejected on technical grounds.
A fresh draft submitted in July proposed to increase runway length up to 2,050m. The plan was revised in November again and the runway length was revised to 2,450m.
The existing airstrip at Gaggal Airport is 1370m long.
