The Airport Authority of India (AAI) and revenue department will conduct a joint survey in Hubli from June 8 to 10 to ascertain the extent of land needed for the proposed expansion of Hubli Airport. | |
| A three-member team of senior officials attached to AAI including S Biswas, I N S Murthy and M N N Rao will arrive in Hubli on June 8 to conduct the survey. |

| Dharwad North MP Prahlad Joshi said the survey is a follow up of the discussion he and revenue minister Jagadeesh Shettar had with AAI's Southern India regional director Ramalingam during the latter's visit to Hubli recently. |
| |
| They had discussed about the implementation of the master plan to upgrade the airport. |
| |
| Jagadeesh Shettar responding to the demand from AAI for more land to execute the master plan, has promised on behalf of the state government to provide 386.6 acres of land. |
| |
| Accordingly a joint survey is being held, Joshi said. The AAI needs two years after taking possession of the land to complete the execution of the master plan. |
