Bokaro Airport Project Gets Boost: AAI Inspection Concludes, Fast-Tracking Underway
Bokaro: Deputy commissioner (DC) Ajay Nath Jha has asked Airports Authority of India (AAI) to fast-track Bokaro airport project as the 48-hour inspection by AAI team concluded on Thursday. The team also met with the DC to apprise them of their findings.
Officials said that most requirements identified by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security have been nearly addressed, and clearance from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation is awaited. Jha has asked officials to expedite coordination and appointed additional collector Mumtaz Ansari as nodal officer to fast-track processes.
Notably, Bokaro and Deoghar airports were included under the UDAN Scheme in 2016. While Deoghar airport became operational in July 2022, fate of Bokaro airport is still uncertain.
