Priority for Coimbatore airport expansion sought

Coimbatore MP K. Subbarayan has appealed to Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi to include the Coimbatore airport in the first phase of expansion plan.

The Madurai airport has been included in the first phase and Coimbatore in the second phase.

Mr. Subbarayan said he had written to the Union Minister for Civil Aviation.

The Minister expressed his inability, citing delay in land acquisition by the State Government. Mr. Karunanidhi should intervene and expedite land acquisition, besides taking up the issue with the Union Ministry, he said.
