Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday flagged off a commercial flight from here to Ayodhya and laid the foundation stone of the new terminal building at the airport.
Modi laid the foundation stone of Maharaja Agrasen Airport’s new terminal building to be built at a cost of over Rs 410 crore.
It will include a state-of-the-art passenger terminal, a cargo terminal and an ATC building. The project will be completed in two years.
A statement earlier said scheduled flights from Hisar to Ayodhya twice a week, and three flights in a week to Jammu, Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Chandigarh would mark a significant leap in Haryana’s aviation connectivity.
Modi is in Haryana to launch development programmes worth Rs 10,000 crore on Monday.
Chief Minister Nayab Saini and other ministers were among those present.
