Vizag To Get International Airport
South India might get another international airport soon! If the Indian Navy gives a nod, the Visakhapatnam airport will start operating as an international. Three international airlines – Air Arabia, Fly Dubai and Silk Airways – are ready to operate flights from the industrial city.
Right now the airport is operated by the Indian Navy, and has about 12 domestic services. Some domestic airlines, too, are on the line to start functioning from Vizag. It would connect it to Delhi, Mumbai and other metros.
The city, which has over 18 lakh people living in it, is expanding, and so are the needs for an international airport. Nearly six lakh passengers fly in and fly out of the Vizag airport every year.
That news was in 2010.
We are in mid 2011 !!!
Still the same status.
No news about international opearations from vizag till date.
Sad state of afairs. Gross injustice to lakhs of pasengers who will benifit.
