Kothagudem Airport is a proposedgreenfield airport atKothagudem inBhadradri Kothagudem District ofTelangana,India. TheGovernment of Telangana has identified 1,600 acres of land at Punukuduchelka village in Kothagudem mandal for the purpose.[1]
The steering committee on greenfield airports has given site clearance for the proposed aerodrome, which will be the second greenfield airport in the state afterHyderabad Airport.[2][3]
In 2008, the government of Andhra Pradesh invited for expressions of interest to develop eight minor airports in the state, including an airport at Kurnool. Each airport was expected to cost₹50 crore (equivalent to₹139 crore or US$16 million in 2023). The airports were to be built in 500–600 acres (2.0–2.4 km2) with a runway length of 6,000 feet (1,800 m).[4] However, AAI has rejected this proposal citing insufficient land available for the construction of the airport.[5]
