Delhi High Court Declines Plea Against Visakhapatnam Airport Closure, Advises Andhra Pradesh HC
The Delhi High Court dismissed a plea challenging the closure of Visakhapatnam Airport for commercial flights, directing the petitioner to approach the Andhra Pradesh High Court instead. The court noted that the main impact and cause of action relate to Visakhapatnam, where a Public Interest Litigation on the matter is pending. Visakhapatnam Airport ceased scheduled commercial operations on August 16, ahead of the new Bhogapuram airport's opening. The petitioner argued the closure was arbitrary and shifted operations far from the city center.
