Air connectivity to the economically poor Bundelkhand region is set to improve, as the Uttar Pradesh Government has approved the development of Lalitpur airport to and make it fit for ATR aircraft. This would be the fourth airport in the region after Jhansi, Chitrakoot and Sonbhadra for which the state government has given the green light. Lalitpur, on the border of UP and Madhya Pradesh, has an airstrip which was constructed during World War II, but it is unused and non-functional. The government is developing 14 airports in the state. The development of airports in Bareilly and Kushinagar have been completed, while those in Aligarh, Azamgarh, Meerut, Moradabad and Chitrakoot would be completed in the next two months.
