With the Airport Authority of India (AAI) according approval for developing Chhattisgarh's second airport, the erstwhile princely estate of Raigarh, which is fast developing into a major industrial town, would soon figure on the country's air map. The work on the construction of the Rs 260 crores full-fledged airport is likely to start soon after the signing of the MOU between the state government and the AAI sometime this month. Confirming the move, Subodh Singh, Aviation Secretary, said the new airport would be developed in two phases, with Rs 158 crore being spend on the first phase. The project is likely to be completed in three to four years he said. He said once the airport becomes operational, flights of ATR-72 aircraft, which can seat 70 to 80 people, would be started initially. "As and when the traffic increases and the airport is fully operational, flights of bigger aircraft, with seating capacity of 200 people, would be introduced", he said. The aviation secretary said the state government would provide 600 acres of land to the AAI for developing the airport. As of now, Raigarh has an air strip, which is primarily used for small aircrafts and choppers but once the airport is developed, it would give a fillip to the industrial activity in and around the district. "The airport would promote air connectivity and help in boosting the state's economy," he said. Saying that the state government was committed to improve air connectivity across the state, Singh said Rs 3 crores were sanctioned in the current budget to further develop the Ambikapur Airport to Category 2C, which would enable 40-50 seat ATRs to land. Similarly, Bilaspur is being upgraded to 3C for the landing of 60-70 seat ATR planes and Jagdalpur would be upgraded to 2C Category in the next financial year.
