Mysuru: The more-than-a-decade efforts to build a tunnel or underpass near the Mysore Airport at Mandakalli and the extension of runway to 2,750 metres has finally borne fruit as necessary permission have been obtained, said Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha.
Speaking to reporters here yesterday, Simha said that once the project is completed, the Mysore Airport will attain the distinction of being the only airport in India to have the underpass. “Once the project is completed, it will be the first of its kind airport in the country, where the runway will be over the underpass. We see this kind of Airports only in foreign countries,” he said.
