In order to reduce the traffic at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, Aligarh’s Dhanipur airport is being expanded. Recently, Director of the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Special Secretary of the Government Kumar Harsh issued a letter to the Aligarh Administration on acquisition of land of 300 acres. A meeting was held with the officials of the National Airport Authority under the chairmanship of the City Magistrate, in which the length, width and height of the runway of Dhanipur Mini Airport would be increased.
Dhanipur airport has been prepared for 19 seater aircraft at present. 72 seater aircraft will fly from this airport in future. The work of finding land for the expansion of the runway of Dhanipur airport is going on very fast.
