Gorakhpur Airport to Get Major Facelift, Check How It May Transform the City And Adjoining Districts

In Eastern Uttar Pradesh, the second-largest airport in the state, GorakhpurAirport, is about to undergo drastic changes and is set to undergo a remodel of the area in terms of infrastructure, economy, and connectivity. According to the recent information given by Awanish Awasthi, Advisor to the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, the airport will be redeveloped on a large scale, which will include new building of airport terminals, increasing the capacity of passenger handling services and complex transportation of air traffic.

How It Will Transform Gorakhpur

Infrastructure development and redesigning of Gorakhpur airport will not only go hand in hand with the growth of Gorakhpur but will also lead towards making the city a regional superpower. With a new and modern airport terminal, improved flight facilities, and passenger facilities, the city should expect an increment in domestic tourism, business generation, and employment-generating activities. Even better connectivity with metro cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata is going to enhance the overall status of Gorakhpur as a commercial and cultural hub in Eastern Uttar Pradesh.

The upgrade of the airport will also help decongest other major airports in the state by providing a more efficient option for residents.

It will also facilitate the movements of thousands of migrant labourers and students, who travel a lot between these districts and the metropolitan regions.

On this scale of upgrade, Gorakhpur Airport will transform into one of the key entry points of development in Eastern UP.
