International Airport at Hubli
TEAM TOI
The state is all set to have a second international airport. B S Yeddyurappa promised to acquire necessary land to upgrade the Hubli airport to international standards. The budget also promises expansion of Belgaum and Mangalore airports.
“Steps are being taken to acquire additional land for development of Mysore airport. Similarly, airports at Bijapur, Gulbarga, Shimoga and Hassan will be developed on a public-private-partnership basis,’’ he said.
The state government will establish airstrips in districts that have airports. To give tourism an impetus, Yeddyurappa proposed to spend Rs 40 crore to develop 10 airstrips at Rs 4 crore each in various districts which do not have airports.
Promising to take necessary steps to quickly improve road connectivity to the Bengaluru International Airport (BIA), the government said it released state support of Rs 295 crore and equity of Rs 48 crore to BIAL.
