The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has handed over the final feasibility report of the Hosur airport project to the Tamil Nadu government.
Since, the Ministry of Defence controls the airspace in that region, its permission and approval are needed now.
Last year, Tamil Nadu proposed the development of a new greenfield airport in Hosur.
The AAI examined five sites in and the State government narrowed down two sites - one south of Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Limited’s (TAAL) and Hosur taluk and another east of Hosur and north of Shoolagiri.
But, the agreement between the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Bangalore International Airport Limited, prohibits development of any other airport within a 150 km aerial distance until 2033.
