Airports to be congested

In a bid to decongest air traffic and reduce the burden on major airports in the country, the civil aviation ministry is taking a number of steps to improve facilities for the private aircraft sector away from major air infrastructure centres.
Among these, the ministry is actively considering developing around 300 airstrips currently lying idle all over the country in order to facilitate the burgeoning private jet industry. The plan as of now is to focus on airstrips near major cities as this would relieve the major airports which have their hands full with the scheduled aviation sector.
