Kalaymyo Airport (Deric Kaam Al/Google Maps)
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) today (11 April) signed an agreement with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the first phase of the Kalaymyo Airport in the Sagaing Division in neighbouring Myanmar, reports ANI.
AAI Executive Director for Land Management and Business Development Anil Gupta said that AAI wanted to go global in airport development and management and that the organisation had the experience and capabilities to do so.
The AAI in the past has worked on several overseas projects, including modernisation, runway upgrades and feasibility studies in several countries including Mauritius, Maldives, Yemen, Algeria, Libya and Tanzania. In 1982, the Government of Yemen awarded the construction of Riyan Airport in Mukalla to the AAI which built the entire airport including the terminals, runways, hangars and other infrastructure. Following this, Yemen awarded the Al Ghaydha Airport to the AAI.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
