Vijayapura Airport Expected to Open Within Three Months After Supreme Court Clearance
Vijayapura Airport in Karnataka is expected to become operational within three months following a Supreme Court ruling that cleared environmental clearance delays. The state government has invested over Rs 614 crore in the project, which is nearly complete and designed initially for ATR 72 aircraft, with plans for larger planes later. Remaining approvals, including from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, will finalize the commissioning. The airport aims to enhance connectivity and boost economic activity in the Kittur Karnataka region and nearby areas.
