The Jammu and Kashmir government has transferred land to Airport Authority of India (AAI) for expansion of Jammu airport.
The
land to the tune of 974 kanal has been transferred in village Rakh
Raipur, tehsil Jammu South free of cost to AAI under the National Civil
Aviation Policy 2016.
The state departments namely animal
husbandry, irrigation, PWD will be provided budgetary support or
compensated with equal land value elsewhere, the government said.
Earlier,
Indian Air Force which controls the Jammu airport had issued a notice
for airmen (NOTAM) which will lead to removal of 30 per cent load
penalty on the airport.
This means that now airlines can fly full load which lead to lower fares and longer destinations by aircraft.
The
NOTAM has been issued by IAF as they control the airport. The NOTAM
involved coordination with Director General Civil Aviation (DGCA) and
Airport Authority of India. The trigger for change was UT govt of Jammu
and Kashmir. Three factors are behind the move including a new
governance mindset from the lackadaisical to moving the needle.
In addition, market forces have influenced the move as this will improve traveller perception about safety of J&K.
The third advantage is the extension and strengthening of Jammu runway which improves traffic and connectivity for the region.
A
notice to airmen (NOTAM) is a notice containing information concerning
the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility,
service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential
to personnel concerned with flight operations.
