No flight will land or take off from Nagpur Airport during April from 10 am to 6 pm. The airport authority has made this decision to complete the resurfacing work of the runway at the airport. Earlier this work was to be done for 2014.
Due to increased traffic at Nagpur Airport, the runway needs expansion. A new 3200-meter-long runway will be constructed. Upon completion of this project, smoother landings at the airport are expected. The new runway will be made of bitumen material.
A major change in the schedule at Nagpur airport is also expected due to the proposed construction of the runway. Some afternoon flights are likely to be rescheduled before 10 am or after 6 pm in April.
