“In the first phase, the entry and exit routes to the airport terminal will be constructed. In return, the IAF wants a plot of land adjacent to their runway,” Lahauria said, adding the exchange of land was not finalised yet because the defence ministry was yet to take a decision on it.Meanwhile, Lahauria said, the work for extension of Patna airport will begin by July-end. PATNA: Work on the construction of a boundary wall around the 126 acres of land near the Bihta airbase , where a civil enclave is to be developed for commercial flight operations, is likely to begin next week.Airports Authority of India (AAI) officials said on Wednesday the bidding process for selection of a firm to construct the boundary wall would be completed by June 23.

It will be followed by construction of a colony and shifting of the IMD office temporarily to a building in the residential area on the airport prremises,” he said, adding the work on the new terminal building was expected to begin within three months.A meeting in this regard was held between chief secretary Deepak Kumar and airport director Lahauria on Tuesday.
