Proposal to build airport at Shamirpet not tenable

The repeated assertion of the Chief Minister, K. Chandrasekhar Rao, to construct a second airport at Shamirpet on the city outskirts may not be tenable, given the clause in the Concession Agreement signed between Hyderabad International Airport Limited (HIAL) and the Government of India.

“In view of the Concession Agreement signed between HIAL and the Government of India, a Greenfield airport at Shamirpet may not be tenable. The Hakimpet airport near Shamirpet is under the control of Indian Air Force,” said Union Minister of Civil Aviation P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju in a letter to the Chief Minister some time ago.
