The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) under the Union ministry of defence, entrusted with re-carpeting the sole runway of the Bagdogra airport, confirmed on Monday that its work was over within deadline and flight operations could restart at the airport from Tuesday.
The airport has been closed since April 11 for this work.
“The Project Swastik of BRO headquartered at Gangtok has completed the runway resurfacing at Bagdogra airport. With the upgraded runway surface, which has been completed very diligently and with utmost quality, it will ensure that the airport can now take on any kind of aircraft currently in operation, in both civil and military arena,” said a release issued by the BRO on Monday.
