Bhagalpur :
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has said that his government is doing all what is necessary to make the dream of the bhagalpurwalon true by starting small service (low capacity) flights from Bhagalpur as soon as possible. In this regard, the government has already sanctioned the fund for the fencing work and work is on progress like other developmental works in the city.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar along with his two cabinet colleagues (elected from the city) and Airport Authority of India (AAI) officials visited the Bhagalpur Airport to take stock of the ongoing fencing work. Plan is to develop Bhagalpur airport as regional airport between Patna and Kolkata.
After surveying, the AAI offcials said that a airport needed 4,000 feet run way space to start any kind of flight while the Bhagalpur airport has only 3,600 feet runway space. In this regard, the CM instructed the district offcials the concerned department officials to make arrangements for increasing the runway space.
Plans are also to start similar services from three other distrcit headquarters as well. Those districts are Munger, Muzaffarpur and Darbhanga.
