The new airport at Devanhalli in Bangalore is getting delayed by a few weeks since the government is now looking for ways to keep the old HAL airport open
The Goa Government will formally present a report to Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh today, seeking his nod for a green-field international airport at Mopa in North Goa.
The new Bangalore airport is expected to open by the month-end but there is no firm decision yet on whether to keep the old, HAL airport also open simultaneously.
The Attorney General (AG) has made it clear that no new airport can come up in the National Capital Region till capacity at the existing Delhi International Airport (DIAL) has been saturated.
Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has accepted Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa’s invitation to inaugurate the Bengaluru International Airport.
