Bhubaneswar: After Jharsuguda, it’s time for the state to get a third airport. The Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Monday gave regulatory approval for Rourkela airport.
According to sources, the existing airstrip at Rourkela, owned by Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), will be made ready for commercial flights. The Airport Authority of India (AAI) had signed an MoU with SAIL in May last year for operation and management of the airstrip. It was earlier marked suitable for UDAN flights.
As announced by AAI previously, Odisha is expected to get licence for airports in Jeypore (Koraput) and Utkela (Kalahandi), apart from Rourkela, in 2019.
