New Greenfield Airport Approved for Rajasthan's Kota-Bundi Region.

The Indian government has given its approval for the development of a greenfield airport in the Kota-Bundi region of Rajasthan. The project, with an estimated cost of ₹1,507 crore, is set to boost regional connectivity and infrastructure.

The decision was made by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), which is chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The CCEA officially approved the proposal from the Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Tuesday.

The Rajasthan state government has already transferred 440.06 hectares of land to the AAI for the new airport. Once completed, the facility will be capable of handling Airbus 321-type aircraft, which are commonly used for short- to medium-haul flights.
