Transcription
History
Sant Gadge Baba Yavatmal Airport was constructed in 1998 by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation.[1] The airport was largely underused, being used only for government-operated aircraft. With the aim to facilitate increase in air traffic, which in turn, would help boost trade in the region, the Maharashtra State Industries Ministry began the process of modernisation of MIDC airports in 2006. It floated tenders inviting private parties to draw out a plan for airport operations.[2] Reliance Airport Developers Ltd offered the highest bid (Rs. 27 crore) for Latur, Nanded, and Yavatmal.[3] Yavatmal's 113.93 hectare airport premises were leased for 95 years to Reliance Airport Developers Ltd on 30 October 2009.[4] Reliance is keen to set up a facility for recycling aero parts at Sant Gadge Baba Yavatmal Airport.[5]
