Jharkhand: AAI team conducts pre-feasibility study for Sahibganj airport, cargo hub

A six-member team from the Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Wednesday conducted a pre-feasibility study for a proposed domestic airport and cargo hub in Jharkhand’s Sahibganj district, officials said.

Additional Collector Gautam Bhagat, who accompanied the AAI team, said that the Jharkhand government had, almost a year back, submitted a proposal to the AAI for a domestic airport and cargo hub at Hajipur Diara and adjacent Bhitha, respectively.

“The AAI team, led by Assistant Manager (architecture) Megha Rohilla, visited both sites and conducted the pre-feasibility study of the 484.30 acres of land identified by the Sahibganj district administration for the proposed airport and cargo hub,” Bhagat said.
