Suresh Prabhu launches 3 aviation projects in Andhra Pradesh
Suresh Prabhu said a meeting with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) was held on Tuesday to create integrated logistics for the country.

Minister for Civil Aviation Suresh Prabhu opened extended runways at Vijayawada and Rajahmundry airports and laid foundation stone for linear expansion of Visakhapatnam airport terminal building on Tuesday. The minister inaugurated these projects from New Delhi through video conferencing.

The runaway at Vijayawada airport was extended from 2,286 meters to 3,360 meters, which will allow wide-bodied aircraft to land. Airports Authority of India (AAI) Chairman Guruprasad Mahapatra said the project cost Rs 145 crore.

The runway at Rajahmundry airport was extended from 1,750 meters to 3,165 meters at a cost of Rs 182 crore, he said.

The terminal area at Visakhapatnam airport will be increased from 19,800 square meters to 29,050 square meters. With this, the terminal`s peak-hour handling capacity will go up from 700 to 1,050 passengers. On completion of the project, the airport will be able to handle four million passengers per annum.

Speaking on the occasion Prabhu said: "The country has 103 airports and another 100 airports may be added in the next 10-15 years with an estimated investment of $65 billion."

Stating that volume of air passengers had doubled in the last four-and-half years, the minister said expansion of cargo handling facilities would attract more investment in the sector.

The air cargo policy, unveiled on January 15, would further boost the aviation sector, he added.
