Mangaluru International Airport Deadlock over runway expansion continues; High-level Committee to meet CM soon
Mangaluru: In an effort to break the deadlock pertaining to the proposed runway expansion of Mangaluru International Airport, a high-level committee will be formed soon and a meeting will be held with the CM to sort of the issue. The expansion has been in limbo due to land acquisition and compensation row.
Speaking about the issue in a meeting, Deputy Commissioner A B Ibrahim said that the local MLA is keen on having a 13,000 ft long runway, for which there is a requirement for 200 acre of land. However, logically, a 11,000 ft runway would facilitate landing of type of international aircraft and this would require only 60 acres of land, the DC said.
In February, 2014, the Mangaluru Airport Director had written to the Dakshina Kannada district administration stating that there is a need for 190 acres of land for expansion of the runway from the 8,000 ft to 13,000 ft. After survey, the district administration proposed to the State government in November 2014 that land can be acquired by paying compensation of Rs. 121.05 crore.
To this, the Principal Secretary had written to the district administration stating that the said compensation was too high for the government to bear and hence the work could be taken up on two phases.
Keeping all the issues in mind, the district administration has now decided to consider the proposal on a public-private-partnership model.
District in-charge Minister B Ramanth Rai in the meet said that a high-level committee of the state officials, Airport Authority of India and the elected representatives should meet the Chief Minister in Bengaluru soon to sort out the issue.
