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
Increase in air traffic density with enhanced airport concentaration (both large and small) are the bare necessity. Strategically located, it should catter to the needs of the whole population of Orissa. Like the intercity expresses, it will make people to commute on a daily basis depending on the requirement.
i am agree with this petition.

We do it must.
Yes
This is a good initiative taken..Hope Govt looks further acording
we should fight for development of western orissa.
I agree with your petition and would want to make rourkela a fullfleged airport
Now time it’s time to prove for the central Govt’s capability by doing and cooperating in developement of Odisha with the state Govt, rather becoming a obstacle towards Odisha’s growth.
IDEA OF A JOINT AIRPORT OF AIR FORCE AND CIVIL LIKE GWAHATI, JORHAT, DIBRUGARH CAN BE THOUGHT OF. THIS WILL BRING IN LOT OF REVENUE TO THE STATE TOO.

It is a dream now, hope with our sincere efforts it’ll become true.

I strongly agree….
I do agree Up gradation of existing airports is a necessity but along with that what percentage of people can afford to travel in air.Road condition must be improved to have better and smooth communication. If you will visit western part of odisha you will find very worst condition of roads.Definitely airports must be developed in time bound manner but road condition must be improved.
I strongly supported.
I agree with this petition
I agree with the above things…
I support the petition.Best Wishes
