Forest ServicesQ71. Consider the following airports:
1. Donyi Polo Airport 2. Kushinagar International Airport 3. Vijayawada International Airport In the recent past, which of the above have been constructed as Greenfield projects ?
Detailed Solution
Greenfield airports are new airports built from scratch on undeveloped land, as opposed to brownfield projects which involve expanding or upgrading existing facilities. 1. Donyi Polo Airport (Hollongi, Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh): This airport was inaugurated in 2022 and is a Greenfield project.
2. Kushinagar International Airport (Uttar Pradesh): This airport was inaugurated in 2021 and is also a Greenfield project. 3. Vijayawada International Airport (Andhra Pradesh): This airport was an existing domestic airport that was upgraded to international status, making it a brownfield expansion, not a Greenfield project.
Therefore, only Donyi Polo Airport and Kushinagar International Airport were constructed as Greenfield projects. This question is relevant to current affairs, infrastructure development, and government policies in the aviation sector.
