New Airports

The newly approved National Civil Aviation Policy, 2016 provides for promoting Regional Connectivity by way of revival of un-served and under-served airports / airstrips. Revival of such airports is to be “demand-driven”, depending on firm demand from the airline operators and where the state government agrees to provide various concessions envisaged in the policy. Poll bound Uttar Pradesh is considering atleast two greenfield airports, while Haryana is silent on the issue.
