Nizamabad Airport is a proposed airport near Jakranpalli in Telangana, India. The project site is located on NH-44, 30 kilometres east of Nizamabad.[1]
The State Government had proposed to set up regional greenfield airports at Jakranpalli along with other sites in the state in 2008. However it received poor response from bidders and had to shelve the project. The Indian Air Force (IAF) had also objected to the proposal citing disruption of military aircraft movements due to commercial air activity.[2]
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) inspected the 1,200 acre site and gave its approval for the site in June 2013.[3] However, AAI asked for a total of 1,500 acres to accommodate all necessary airport infrastructure.[4] The cost of construction of the airport will be borne by the State government.
