Haryana’s Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala has said that hangars will be built at airstrips in Karnal, Bhiwani, Narnaul and Pinjore.
No commercial flights operate from these four airstrips, which are used for training and aerosports.
Chautala also directed the officials of the Civil Aviation Department to start operations of Maintenance Repair and Overhaul at Karnal, Bhiwani and Pinjore airstrips.
In a meeting held here on Monday, he asked them to explore the feasibility of building airstrips in Nuh-Gurugram districts along the Mumbai Expressway, as well as along the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway in Jind-Kaithal districts.
He instructed officers to submit a plan at the earliest.
