Why it matters
The land transfer clears the way for the construction of the new terminal building at Nagpur airport. This supports the ongoing expansion of the airport and regional connectivity, which is important for Air India's hub operations in the city.
The Nagpur airport expansion project is being managed by MADC, which is facilitating a land swap related to the Indian Air Force's base relocation. Air India is currently operating daily flights between Delhi and Nagpur using both cities as operational hubs.
