Shirdi Airport Runway Re-Carpeting Project Underway

The re-carpeting of the runway at Shirdi Airport has officially commenced as part of a significant infrastructure upgrade aimed at improving safety and operational efficiency. This essential maintenance work will enhance the runway's condition, providing a smoother and safer surface for aircraft operations.

The project, which involves resurfacing the entire length of the runway, is expected to boost the airport?s capacity to handle flights more efficiently. The upgrade is particularly important for accommodating the increasing volume of passenger traffic and ensuring compliance with aviation safety standards.

Local authorities and airport officials have coordinated to minimise disruptions during the re-carpeting process. The work is scheduled to be completed within the set timeframe, allowing for the continued growth and development of the Shirdi Airport, which serves as a key gateway for pilgrims and travellers to the region.

Upon completion, the upgraded runway will significantly improve landing and takeoff conditions, contributing to enhanced overall operational reliability and passenger safety. This development reflects a broader commitment to advancing airport infrastructure and supporting regional connectivity.
