Minister for Roads and Buildings Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has announced that the Indian Air Force (IAF) has approved the establishment of a civil airport in Adilabad.
During a statement made on Wednesday, the Minister expressed his satisfaction that the Telangana government, which previously secured permissions for Mamunur Airport, has now also received clearance from the IAF for the Adilabad Airport project.
Komatireddy Venkat Reddy noted that receiving approvals for two airports in just six months is a testament to the relentless efforts of the Telangana government.
He also mentioned that IAF officials have shown interest in developing the Adilabad Airport and providing civil aviation services at this location. Furthermore, they indicated in a letter that they are exploring the possibility of establishing an Air Force training center there in the future.
Komatireddy also mentioned that Air Force representatives have communicated to the Telangana government via a letter that they are providing the required approvals to initiate civil aviation services.
The Minister indicated that, since the Airports Authority of India has asked for comprehensive proposals to be submitted to the Indian Air Force to secure all essential permits for the airport, the State government will soon compile a detailed report and present it to the Central government and the appropriate departments.
