The Airport Authority of India is planning to set up a greenfield airport at Guntur, the hub of flourishing tobacco, cotton and chilly trade, an official said here today.
A 3-member team of the Airport Authority of India today inspected land at Prattipadu village, about 20 km from Guntur city where the airport is proposed to come up.
A member of the team said they would submit a report to the government.
The proposed airport would serve Guntur as also adjacent districts of Prakasam and Nalgonda.
At present, the nearest airport for Guntur residents is at Gannavaram (Vjayawada) which is about 50 km away.
