Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan Reddy directs officials to set up standard size airports in every district

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Reddy directed officials on Thursday to set up standard-sized airports in each district.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy directed the Infrastructure and Investments (I and I) Department to plan and construct at least seven new airports in the state under the 'One District - One Airport' concept.

The "One District - One Airport is a good concept," the Chief Minister said, and asked the officials of the I and I Department to build the new airports in identical fashion with a capacity to handle even Boeing-type aircraft, a press release from the CMO said.
