The proposed Hosur airport would have the capacity to handle 30 million passengers per year and would be developed across 2,000 acres in Hosur.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has prepared a draft report after evaluating five locations for the proposed greenfield international airport in the industrial town of Hosur, bordering Bengaluru.
A team of AAI officials visited the sites recently and submitted a prefeasibility draft mentioning their advantages and challenges, as reported by The Hindu.
The sites are:
1. The existing Hosur airstrip owned and run by Pune-based Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Ltd (TAAL)
2. Two km south of the Hosur airstrip located near TAAL
3. Ten km south of Hosur airstrip near Thogarai Agraharam village in Denkanikottai
4. Twenty-seven km south east of Hosur airstrip near Ulagam (close to Shoolagiri village)
5. Sixteen km north east of Hosur airport near Dhasapalli.
