Pantnagar Airport to be developed as an international airport

The Uttarakhand cabinet has approved the expansion of Pantnagar Airport’s runway, signalling the state’s aspiration to elevate the facility into an international airport. The existing 1,372-metre runway will be extended to 3,000 metres to accommodate larger aircraft. The expansion necessitates the acquisition of 804 acres of land, with neighbouring lands belonging to various government departments. A compensation framework for these departments will be established by a committee led by Chief Secretary Mr S. S. Sandhu. Once acquired, the land will be allocated to the Civil Aviation Department, which will subsequently assign it to the Airports Authority of India. The project is set to span three years and contribute to the state’s aviation infrastructure enhancement, as per a report.
