The new airport terminal in Leh is likely to become operational by December next year, Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia told Ladakh Lieutenant Governor RK Mathur during a virtual meeting on Tuesday. They held discussions on the progress of the ongoing and new civil aviation projects.
Scindia also agreed to the construction of a civil enclosure at Thoise airport, considered the air lifeline to the world’s highest and coldest battlefield, by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) once land is made available.
