Amravati Airport, is located in Belora, 15 kilometres south of Amravati, Maharashtra, India. It covers an area of 74.86 hectares and has a 4,500 foot runway, a 60 m (200 ft) by 45 m (148 ft) apron and a Terminal building.[1]
History
The airstrip, constructed by the Public Works Department in 1992,[2] was taken over by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) in August 1997 and later transferred to the Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC). In February 2014, the Maharashtra government decided to lease the airport to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for 60 years for a monthly rent of Rs 1 lakh. The AAI will develop the airport over three years. The runway will be extended to 2,500 metres suitable for landing Airbus A-320 aircraft.[3]
Nagpur Flying Club
The Nagpur Flying Club has applied to Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for permission to shift its flying operations to Amravati airport.[4][5] Later 336 Acres land was handover to MADC in January 2015 to MADC for expansion.[citation needed]
