Necessary facilities have been made available
According to the news, under the Indian Government’s scheme ‘UDAN’ (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik), regular air connectivity had already been approved from this airport, but it was getting delayed due to various technical formalities. The airport at Bokaro has been developed by SAIL, but at present there are no commercial flights from here. According to the news, SAIL has provided all the necessary facilities for commercial flights here. Here the work of ATC tower, runway, fire feet, passenger lobby, main gate and other structures has been completed.
Special vehicle Rapid Intervention Vehicle arrived
The MoU with Airport Authority of India to start air services from Bokaro Airport was renewed in January. After this the licensing process was started. But, the process was slowed down due to non-felling of trees. Fire brigade’s special vehicle Rapid Intervention Vehicle reached Bokaro Airport on Monday. This vehicle is specially installed in the airport, so that major accidents like fire can be prevented. 16 trained fire department personnel also reached the airport. The work of removing the illegal slaughter house running next to the airport is still pending.
