- The Ministry of Defence (MoD) rejected Tamil Nadu’s proposal to set up an airport at Hosur.
- The request was denied because Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) requires the controlled airspace in the region.
- The Tamil Nadu government had earlier sought airspace relaxation in June 2025, which was also rejected.
- Hosur Airport is proposed as an international airport with a capacity of 30 million passengers.
- The project site is located in Shoolagiri taluk and covers about 2,300 acres.
- The airport also faces a restriction due to the 150 km distance rule from Bengaluru Airport.
