With the Civil Aviation Minister coming from Andhra Pradesh, many Airstrips are proposed in the state. Bhogapuram Airport work is already going on.
Many other districts are being scouted for the development of Airstrip in the coming days.
Now the biggest aviation facility, first of its kind in South India with a horticulture air strip for air cargo, as also for passengers, and a civil aviation training centre are proposed to be set up near here.
Union civil aviation minister K Rammohan Naidu reacted positively to this proposal from Anantapur MP Lakshminarayana. Though the airport was proposed near Anantapur city five years ago, no action followed.
The MP, during a recent meeting with the minister, gave him a detailed report, stressing the need for such a facility near here. The connectivity of flights to AP from across the country and also internationally is also being improved the Minister said.
The idea is to create maximum air transit to Andhra Pradesh. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has also given a green signal for that matter and suggested that the state Government would provide the required lands for the Ministry of Aviation.
