Lakshadweep gets a new airport

India’s Lakshadweep Islands present a whole new look into beach life, and travellers find its shore a perfect getaway from the din of city. Now making travel easier to the islands, Lakshadweep Islands airport woes are set to vanish as Minicoy Island is preparing to get its own airport. The new airport is being set up in order to promote tourism in Lakshadweep.
The new airport will be developed at Minicoy Island to boost tourism and promote tuna fishing industry here. The Lakshadweep Islands, therefore, can become a massive tourist hub in the near future with this airport at Minicoy Islands. The Island Development Agency (IDA) that was set up on June 1, 2017 has played a crucial role in planning its growth. The IDA works to generate livelihoods for local communities, while also ensuring that there are progress and development in the islands.


The new Lakshadweep Island airport at Minicoy Island will help boost tourism in the island, while the IDA reviewed development plans for nine islands. Out of these nine, four are in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands region, and five in Lakshadweep. The currently available islands here in Lakshadweep are Kavaratti, Kadmat, Bangaram, Kalpeni, and Minicoy. Though these islands are accessible, there are few options to access these locations. But with the upcoming airport, it would be easier to access the islands.
Lakshadweep Island has some stunning isolated locations and is known for its stunning natural beauty. The new airport here in the Islands is yet another reason for you to visit the islands.
