yeah, in my opinion, the airport should be expanded as fast as possible because if it does not do so, Mysore will lose out to other cities. even though NHAI is stern on upgrading the highway, i think they have plans to start the upgradation of NH 212 from Kadakola by sparing the land that is required for the airport expansion.

see, there are also proposals from the state government to build a tunnel for extending the runway. They proposed this measure to open the facility for the wider bodied aircrafts. i don't think it is a feasible option. now, the short-haul flights are not going good in Mysore airport. That is why 2 private operators withdrew from the service here. now only the chartered flights are landing here, and not the commercial services.

Hey, if this project was functioning, not only the tourism industry will grow friends. There will be a great revival in the city's real estate growth as investments will start coming all over again. even though mysore is a great city with high potential growth, the connectivity issue has played badly here. It lacks air connectivity across major Indian cities. Foreseeing the plans to expand the airport, now hopeful stakeholders are also approaching the govt. to discuss the issue.

this is really sad. I think the expansion of the airport would have been a great development for mysore. More and more investments would come. Now only the smaller aircrafts are landing the aircraft. But, if it will expanded, then the larger aircrafts can land there. This will lead to the growth of the city as well as the city's tourism sector.

Hey, not only this, there are other prominent problems also regarding this. The airport located in Mandakalli really comes in between the Chamundi Hills and the highway. So, there is a very less scope for expansion. Moreover, there is the problem of land acquisition. For this expansion to happen, the govt. needs to acquire at least 84 acres of land. totally it need a little more than 300 acres land.

Oh, the situation is now disappointing for everyone. actually, there was a plan to expand the airport. but now it has been facing a hurdle because the mysore-nanjangud highway is coming in between. if the airport has to be expanded then there will be problems of realigning the highway.

yeah..this wud have been grt..the funds are also allocated by the Airport Authority of India (AAI). but, now what is happening is that the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is planning to go ahead with upgrading NH 212 and making it four-lane. but, if it does not realign the highway, the mysore airport will not be able to expand. The plan was to accommodate wider-bodied aircrafts.
