Airports Authority of India Advances Proposed Rameswaram Airport Project in Tamil Nadu
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has urged the Tamil Nadu government to finalize land acquisition for a proposed greenfield airport near Rameswaram, aiming to boost regional connectivity under the RCS-UDAN scheme. After evaluating multiple sites, AAI identified a location near Tirupullani, close to Keelakarai, as technically viable following a pre-feasibility study. The project, spanning about 600 acres, faces coordination challenges due to proximity to the Indian Navy's INS Parundu air station. The airport aims to enhance access for tourists and pilgrims currently reliant on road and rail transport.
