Details Of Dholera New International Airport
The Dholera Airport is planned to be located in the North of the DSIR. The Dholera International Airport is envisaged to cater to not only DSIR and its hinterland, but also to traffic overflow from Ahmadabad international airport.
Total area identified for Airport development is 1426 hectares. The airport is slated to have two runways capable of handling wide-bodied long-haul aircrafts such as the A380.
The existing airport of Ahmedabad has emerged as one with highest annual growth in traffic and will get saturated much before the year 2020. The expansion of Ahmedabad airport is difficult due to various reasons. Under the circumstances, a new international airport is required to cater the future traffic.
While assessing the potential and requirements of the Dholera SIR, Government envisaged a tremendous need for a Greenfield International Airport in its vicinity. The level of economic activities in the SIR backed by enormous domestic and foreign investment shall need a world class modern International Airport in this region. Therefore state has included the development of an International Airport in the list of “Early Bird Projects” in consultation with Department of Industrial Promotion and Policy. GoG has also signed an MoU with the Delhi Metro Industrial Corridor Development Company in this regard.
