There is already a 5,976-feet long airstrip at Kolana from where small chartered planes have been operating. The airport is spread over 85 acres and a building is also there.
A private company Sangeet Aviation has already submitted consultancy report to PWD. The company has estimated Rs 169 crore for construction of the first phase. The building will be in pyramid shape and will have four floors with a height of 12 metres. Width of the runway will be extended from 100 to 150 feet and in the next phase runway’s length will also be increased.
Initially, the plan is to make it suitable for landing of ATR-72 and Airbus, which can carry 180 passengers. Later, even Airbus 380 will also be able to operate from here, which at present operates only between Delhi and Mumbai.
