The inauguration ceremony of Donyi Polo Airport in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh has been delayed until October, officials said.
The inauguration of the newly constructed Donyi Polo Airport in Itanagar has been postponed to October, according to statements from officials.
The airport, which is set to become the first international gateway for Arunachal Pradesh, was originally scheduled to open earlier this year. Its delayed launch means the state will miss the opportunity to showcase the facility during the current fiscal year.
No specific reason for the postponement has been disclosed, but officials noted that the decision was taken after a review of the project’s readiness.
Once operational, the airport is expected to enhance connectivity for the northeastern region and boost tourism and trade in the state.
