Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday said Jammu Airport’s new terminal is set for completion by the end of this year.
Expressing gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for approving the development of the Civil Enclave at Srinagar International Airport at an estimated cost of Rs.1,677 crore, Sinha, in a post on X, said, “Upon commissioning, the advanced infrastructure in the renowned spiritual city will bolster connectivity and catalyse remarkable economic advancement.”
“J&K Skies Soar: dawn of a bold aviation era. I am grateful to PM Narendra Modi for the major expansion of the Civil Enclave at Srinagar International Airport. I vividly remember the announcement we made at Srinagar on Sept 25, 2021 in the presence of the Minister for MoCA GoI. CCEA’s (Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs) Rs.1,677 crore approval for a new 71,500 sqm Civil Enclave marks a defining leap in connectivity for the Valley. It is designed to serve 2,900 passengers during peak hours and an annual capacity of 10 million passengers per annum.”
“Better connectivity will ensure more tourists, more investment and more jobs. The new Civil Enclave at Srinagar will upgrade the Valley’s economic future and transform Srinagar from a beautiful destination into a thriving one,” he said.
