Vijayawada Airport is all set to get a makeover as it has the largest runway in the state. The new runway constructed at the Vijayawada Airport will be in use from July 15. The runway, which is 7,500 feet long, has been expanded to another 3,523 feet making the runway length 11,023 feet.

The officials said that the construction of the runway was completed two and half years ago. However, the DGCA did not approve the runway due to lack of security and non-clearance of farmers’ problems.

Though the issues have not been resolved yet, the DGCA conducted a virtual inspection on the lands a year ago. Besides this, the Airport authorities have ended the friction test successfully.

The DGCA has informed that the runway will be brought into use from July 15. After the new runway comes into existence, Vijayawada Airport will be able to land and take off even large international flights.
