Introduction : This petition is all about upgrading the existing Domestic Airport at Bhubaneshwar to International Airport, expediting the work at Jharsuguda for Domestic Airport ( Which was proposed and got approved by center ) and evaluating a possible Domestic Airport at Jaipur, Koraput. These three airports are absolutely required for overall development 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

    Apart from the support for Jeypore Airport, the deplorable road conditions must be addressed on a war footing basis. Take for expample the condition of NH 43(now redesignated as NH 26), it gives great pain to traverse on that road while keeping in mind the better conditions of the same highway in AP and Chhatisgarh.

    I do not know whether existing airport at BBSR is good for international airport, but it is true this airport requires lot of development. It looks like a small unwanted hub with old infrastructure. It is a great idea to plan and make it happen for International airport, We can get our business back from hyderbad and calcutta for all international oriya passengers for middle east and may be south asia.

    There should be better highway connecting Koraput inside the Odisha. First priority should be given for road communication for the benefit of the common people that we experienced because of Vajpayee Govt’s decision on the highway
