Delay in land acquisition hits Mysuru airport expansion plans
The Hindu
The immediate requirement to kickstart the project is about 115 acres
The proposed expansion of Mysuru airport has been held up due to delay in the land acquisition process though farmers are keen to strike a deal with the government. The expansion entails runway extension besides construction of a subway perpendicular to the runway alignment in addition to expanding the terminal building. The airport currently has a runway length of 1740 metres and a breadth of 30 metres which is suitable for operating ATR-72 type of aircraft. The proposal is to increase the runway length to 2750 metres and breadth to 45 metres so as to help operate bigger planes and enable direct long distance flights from the city.
