Officials Initiate Fresh Survey for Proposed Anantapur Airport Amid Terrain Concerns
Finance Minister Payyavula Keshav and Anantapur MP Ambica Lakshminarayana met with Union Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu to advocate for an airport in Anantapur district. They requested a fresh survey after a previous report cited terrain challenges near Kuderu. The ministers proposed exploring a one-sided landing system and urged extending the UDAN regional connectivity scheme to the area. The airport aims to boost horticultural exports by facilitating faster cargo transport. The Union Minister directed officials to complete a new survey within 30 days.
