Unused Airports

The old airport in the Siberian settlement of Churapcha has been unusable for years, its runway transformed into a swampy field of puffed-up mounds and reliefs.

In Berlin, the process of transforming large, now unused public spaces into mass vaccination hubs started weeks before a vaccine was approved.

A total of 209 slots vacated by Jet Airways are lying unused at 31 airports across the country, according to the data shared by Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.

Cash-strapped Jet Airways, which is looking to raise fresh funds, has grounded at least 47 planes due to non-payment of lease rentals.

The SpiceJet chairman and managing director said UDAN has been a big success as so many unused airports in smaller cities are now coming into use.

Air India plans to vacate unused hangar space at some airports and sell the scrap lying there to cut costs, CMD Rajiv Bansal has said.

As the Centre finalises the contours for the ambitious 'Regional Air Connectivity' scheme, the Airports Authority of India today said as many as 20 unused airports were ready to start operations for regional flights.

The government wants to develop strategies to operationalise unused airports in the country, civil aviation minister Ashok Gajapati Raju has said.

Reliance Infrastructure (RInfra) today said its Delhi Airport Metro Express has launched a 30-trip monthly pass for commuters that will make travel cheaper and minimise the waste on account of unused trips.
