Immediate Upgradation of Airports of Odisha
To: The Prime Minister, Republic of India
Sub: Upgradation of Airports and Air connectivity in Odisha.
Dear Sir:
While each of India’s parts should progress for India to go ahead, some are really falling behind, increasing the GAP in development. Such is the case with Odisha. In recent past various central projects have not been located in the other areas of Odisha, in a distributed manner, under the plea that areas are not Air connected. We have seen this argument again and again and again.
The recent Central University of Orissa (CUO), of Koraput, is a case in point. It’s VC, under the deceptive cover of poor connectivity of Koraput, has started a parallel campus in BBSR, while operating from Kolkata. This must be stopped and will be stopped.
But what stands out is lack of Regional Airports in Odisha and it’s lack of overall Air connectivity. We are thus presenting an overall proposal of Air connectivity in Odisha, with a request you thus Sir, to kindly consider & implement the following at the minimum:
- Upgrade the 60 years old regional Airport at BBSR to an International Airport.
- Expedite and complete the construction of ongoing Domestic Airport in Jharsugda district, in western Odisha, within next two years.
- Reinvigorate and evaluate for a possible domestic airport for the unused South regional Jeypore Airport, Koraput in to action in next 2 years.
This will enable the remote areas of Odisha to be connected to the places of national importance and will prevent lack of air connectivity as a alibi, for not locating Institutes of National importance in the backward areas.
In addition to the above , Airports at Rourkela , Berhampur and Rayagada can be developed further in future which were once upon a time used for emergency landing. These airports can serve as feeder to the above full fledged Airports.
Justification & rationale for all of them are attached here.
Yours truly,
Citizens & Well wishers of Odisha
I strongly support this.

Yes Bhubaneshwar Airport also deserves its share of modernization……………………………..
superb!!!!!! viewpoints……………..need to b taken into consideration.As an oriya,I feel proud of the facts.
Odisha sud have a bigger and better Airports
It’s high time that Bhubaneshwar should have an International Airport now. Cities like Lucknow & Jaipur became ages ago.
It has to be upgraded to an International one as it will help Orissa grow further in many respects.

As per yardstick BijuPatnaik Airport Bhubaneswar should be a International Airport the number of flight per day are 55 and Our friend Mr Chitta Barala from USA has furnished all in details of justification for early convertion.The state ODISA has no International Airport where as some states have 2 to 3 Inter airport.The number of ODISA people outside India now a days are in par with that of other states and Very soon the state will have good no of Multi national Projects and Industries for which very much necessary of a Inter airport. Another ver specific point is amoung all top chief Minister and famous political leaders it is only BIJU BABU was a all weather pilot as known and used to say even by late Pandit Jawaharlal nehru who could dare to lift Indonesian Prime Minister in most cricis period as advised by Nehru Paliloting a dare devil adventure at risk of life should have been rembered to conert the BIJU PATNAIK AIRPORT as INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

I am thanking you all for raising the issue about the upgradation of the existing airports and some new airports.Odisha having rich cultural heritage,minerals,manpower and so many resources is still lagging behind other states in India.The communication is affecting major sectors providing a hindrance to the development in the state as it is not well connected with major cities of the country and abroad….As an Indian i will feel proud for development of every part of it.
