The ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) approved a proposal for developing a second airport in the national capital region (NCR) last Thursday without requisite approvals from the state government for the project.
Aviation ministry sources informed that while discussions have taken place with the state government for an airport in Uttar Pradesh, the UP government is keen that it comes up at Hirangaon in Firozabad district. Hirangaon is located at a distance of 238.9 km from the IGI Airport.
“No word or approval has come from the state government regarding the airport in Jewar. After the Akhilesh Yadav-government came to power in the state, they have been looking at Firozabad for the project”, said a senior official who did not wish to be named.
