Chouhan requested Singh to grant Indore airport the status of an 'international' airport as it has been upgraded and modernised with extended cargo handling facilities for to and fro operations of flights from foreign shores.
The grant of this status will "benefit trade, industry and agri-growers" of the state, the Chief Minister was quoted as telling Singh.
"He (Chouhan) requested Singh to restore the earlier schedule of Indian Airlines flight between Bhopal-Delhi sector which made the journey to and fro on the same day possible.
"He also said that there is an urgent need for perishable cargo hub at Indore which will cater to the need of floriculture and pharmaceutical sector which has immense potential," a state government spokesperson said here in a statement.
He also urged the Civil Aviation Minister for early allotment of 4.23 acres of extra land to state hangar by Airport Authority of India at Bhopal, the statement said.
