Aircraft lands at Shirdi airport in a test-run

A five-seater aircraft of Mumbai Flying Club today successfully landed at the Shirdi airport here, indicating that regular flight services could start from May, said Vishvas Patil, managing director of Maharashtra Airport Development Corporation.
Patil himself arrived by this flight.
This was the first time a five-seater plane landed at the airport and the purpose was testing the runway, Patil said.
Patil also held talks with the local farmers who have given land for the under-construction airport. The construction would be completed in the next two-three months, he said.
