However, the inauguration got delayed for various reasons. The modernised airport has a runway length of 1,740 metres and a width of 30 metres and can handle short-haul flights with capacity of 60-70 passengers.
Assuring all assistance for the airport's infrastructure development, Yeddyurappa said that with the ever increasing tourist flow in Mysore and location of such an important enterprise like Infosys, which has an intake of 15,000 trainees from across the globe, the Mysore Airport has a good passenger potential. He also mentioned that the state government will examine the request for granting incentives like reduction in Sales Tax and fuel.
