Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma announced that the state government will provide land for the airport construction free of charge. He added that the new Kota Airport will also benefit the lakhs of residents in the Hadoti region.

The AAI will manage the construction, operation, and development of the airport.

A detailed project is currently being prepared, and tenders for the airport will be invited soon.

In addition to the new airport in Kota, Chief Minister Sharma has urged the AAI to expedite the development of a new state terminal at Jaipur Airport. He also announced the allocation of free land for enhancements at Udaipur Airport, the approach road at Uttarlai (Barmer) Airport, and the development of a civil enclave.
