Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Ministry of Civil Aviation is committed to expand and strengthen air connectivity across the nation. Taking another step in this direction, Minister of Civil Aviation Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapu has granted in-principle approval for the establishment of a Greenfield airport in Kota, Rajasthan and Puri in Odisha on May 05, 2025.
Kota Airport, a long-awaited development is a result of consistent efforts by Om Birla, Speaker of Lok Sabha and MP from Kota-Bundi, who has been actively pursuing the realization of an airport for Kota. His continued engagement with the Ministry of Civil Aviation has been one of the driving forces to expediting this approval.
The proposed airport will not only serve Kota city, known as a major educational and industrial hub, but will also cater to the growing population and economic activity in the Hadoti region. With its establishment, Kota will be able to be major destinations within India and internationally.
This decision marks a major milestone in the infrastructure development of Kota, Rajasthan and the Government鈥檚 commitment to making air travel accessible to every citizen.
Puri, one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in India and home to Lord Jagannath, attracts millions of devotees and tourists from across the country and the world. The decision to establish an airport in Puri will provide a major boost to religious tourism, regional development, and overall connectivity in the region.
This airport will be able to enhance the direct connectivity between Puri and major metropolitan cities in India. This decision marks a important milestone for Puri and Odisha and is in line with the Government鈥檚 commitment to strengthening last-mile air connectivity and making air travel accessible to all.
