TheIndian state ofMeghalaya currently has only one operational airport inShillong. The airport is operated by theAirports Authority of India. There were proposals to expand the runway of the present airport atShillong to enable it to handle bigger aircraft. But, theAirports Authority of India termed the runway expansion unfeasible. Therefore, theMeghalaya High Court directed theGovernment of Meghalaya to prepare a preliminary report on whether a new greenfield airport will be constructed or the existing runway atShillong Airport will be expanded.[1]
A second airport atTura namedBaljek Airport is proposed to commence operations soon.[2]
