AAI team visits Kailashahar Airport to explore feasibility of resumption of air service
A team of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) visited the Kailashahar Airport in Tripura’s Unakoti district to explore the feasibility of resumption of air service, officials said here on Wednesday. The airport located near the Indo-Bangla border has been shut down since the early 90’s on account of lack of adequate passengers.
The six-member AAI team led by joint general manager (Operations) Dubdulal Chowdhury on Tuesday inspected the old airport and also Hiracherra tea estate, an alternative place for setting up a greenfield airport in presence of District Magistrate (DM) of Unakoti, Uttam Kumar Chakma.
