UDAN
Flight connectivity Planned under RCS was delayed due to runway re-carpeting work[3]. Anticipating growth in passenger traffic, the Airports Authority of India has planned to expand the Chakeri Civil Enclave. The airport would be developed in two phases.
In the first phase of development includes expansion of the existing terminal building to increase the passenger handling capacity, construction of a visitors lounge and new car parking facilities to make existing terminal ready for RCS-UDAN operation.
In the second phase, A new civil air terminal at Chakeri Airport will be built on a 50-acre piece of land adjacent to the airport boundary[4]. The state government is handing over 50 acres of land identified by AAI free of cost for the development of civil enclave at Chakeri airport and also providing a 4-lane approach road to the new terminal building site. Work for boundary wall construction awarded to UPPWD under deposit scheme as per MOU signed on 24.11.2017.
