Location For Puri Airport Finalized By AAI
The Airport Authority of India (AAI) has given its nod for the location to build Puri Airport. Approval has been given for setting up the airport in Sipasarubali Mouza under Brahmagiri tehsil of the district of the state. A three-member AAI team identified the location for the proposed Sri Jagannath International Airport. Four sites at Girala and Sipasarubali on the western side of Puri town and Samagara and Baliguali on the eastern end were inspected by the team.Â
A pre-feasibility report to the Odisha government said the land in Sipasarubali will be ideal for the international airport. As per report, the airport would initially have one runway over 1200 acres of land.Â
