AAI green signal to Mohanbari airport revamp

Jorhat: The Airport Authority of India (AAI) has given the green signal for revamping the Mohanbari airport at Dibrugarh. A Rs 51 crore plan has already been prepared in this regard and the revamping has been handed over to Calcutta’s Tantia Company.
The Mohanbari airport has become one of the busiest airports of Upper Assam owing to its proximity with leading companies like the OIL, ONGC, Coal India, and the tea gardens. However, the airport depicts a sad picture with poor maintenance and lack of infrastructure.
Senior manager of Mohanbari airport, Diganta Bora said the infrastructure upgrade is likely to be completed by end of next year.
The length of the runway will be increased from 6,000 ft to 7,500 ft, which is the required length for an Airbus to land.
