New Delhi: Civil Aviation Ministry has asked the Tamil Nadu government to come with a fresh proposal after the state authorities were conveyed about the inability to carry out modernisation of the Chennai airport without proper land area. The Tamil Nadu government has informed the avitaion ministry that it would come up with a fresh proposal within the next fortnight, civil aviation Praful Patel told reporters in New Delhi. The state government proposal will detail the availability of land that is required for the expansion and modernisation of the airport.
Mr Patel met the communications and information technology minister Dayanidhi Maran, the Lok Sabha MP from Cenral Chennai constituency, to discuss the Chennai airport modernisation plan. The government would decide on due course of the airport modernisation after receving the final report from Tamil Nadu, Mr Patel said.
He said any modern airport should have parallel runway but the state government had informed that it does not want to displace people living around the airport area.
