The proposed project envisages the Mandi Greenfield International Airport construction at Nagchala in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh. The airport will be built on a total land area of 698 acres.
Mandi Greenfield International Airport
In May 2018, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) gave its clearance for the airport after visiting the site. In its pre-feasibility study and the Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) Survey, AAI determined that Nagchala in Mandi district would make a good location for the airport.
AAI and the Government of Himachal Pradesh signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in January 2020 to jointly build and operate the airport through a Joint Venture Company wherein AAI will hold 51% equity and the remaining 49% equity will be held by the Government of Himachal Pradesh.
The airport will have a unidirectional runway, that can initially accommodate aircraft up to ATR 72. WAPCOS has been appointed as a project consultant for the international airport project. As of January 2023, Detailed Project Reports (DPR) preparation is underway for the proposed international airport.
