The Airport Authority of India is planning to set up a greenfield airport at Guntur, the hub of flourishing tobacco, cotton and chilly trade, an official said here today.
A 3-member team of the Airport Authority of India today inspected land at Prattipadu village, about 20 km from Guntur city where the airport is proposed to come up.
A member of the team said they would submit a report to the government.
The proposed airport would serve Guntur as also adjacent districts of Prakasam and Nalgonda.
