Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has announced plans to develop 4-5 small airports across the state, aiming to boost regional connectivity and infrastructure. This initiative is part of a larger strategy by the state government to improve transportation links and foster economic growth in less accessible areas. The proposed airports will be strategically positioned to serve underdeveloped regions, ensuring that more parts of Andhra Pradesh are connected to major cities and hubs.
This initiative is expected to facilitate easier and faster travel, benefiting local businesses, tourism, and residents by reducing travel times and improving accessibility. CM Naidu’s vision for these new airports aligns with his administration’s goal of modernizing infrastructure and promoting balanced regional development.
By enhancing air connectivity, the state hopes to attract more investment, boost trade, and stimulate the local economy. The development of small airports is considered a crucial step in decentralizing growth and ensuring that all regions of Andhra Pradesh benefit from improved transportation facilities.
The plan includes identifying suitable locations, acquiring land, and obtaining necessary approvals from relevant authorities. Once operational, these airports will significantly boost the state’s aviation sector and contribute to its overall socio-economic development. The initiative is also expected to create jobs during the construction phase and provide ongoing operational roles once the airports are functional.
