Tabletop airport likely to be operational in less than 1year

In less than a year, the first tabletop airport of Uttar Pradesh will be operational in the Vindhya hill range of Chitrakoot, which is sure to greatly increase tourism and pilgrimage, particularly in this temple town and the surrounding Bundelkhand region.

A runway that has one or both ends that look over a drop is referred to as a "Tabletop Airport" since it is situated and constructed on top of a plateau or hilly area.

The work on approach roads is presently underway at the airport building site, and it would take a few months to complete, according to Chitrakoot ADM K B Singh. Unconfirmed rumours suggest that PM Narendra Modi, who has been pressuring the Yogi Adityanath-led UP administration to provide a special boost to the development of the Bundelkhand region—which previous governments neglected for decades—might launch the 1465 million airport project once it is finished.

The airport project is likely to be finished by the 2024 general election because work is moving along quickly.

Hindu pilgrims place a lot of importance to Chitrakoot. According to legend, Chitrakoot served as the residence of Lord Rama, his wife Sita, and his brother Lakshmana for 11 and a half of their 14-year exile. As a result, it is a revered destination for pilgrims.

In accordance with a contract with the UP government, the Airport Authority of India will oversee the management of the Chitrakoot airport.

Under the Union government's UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik) project, which is a regional airport development programme of the Center and is intended to improve regional air connectivity of towns and cities, 20-seater aircraft will begin flying from Chitrakoot after receiving a licence from the DGCA. The Chitrakoot airport will improve air connectivity with other parts of Uttar Pradesh and enhance the number of travellers and pilgrims arriving from other parts of the nation.
