Agra: A new civilian terminal will soon come up at the Kheria air force base here to provide international facilities to passengers visiting the Taj city.
This was stated by Union Tourism and Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma who inaugurated a private IVF centre here yesterday.
The Kheria airport is at present under the control of Indian Air Force which allows one of its air strips to be used for civilian flights.
After a meeting with the district officials, Sharma said Rs 100 crore has already been sanctioned for upgrading the Kheria Airport and construction of the civilian terminal, for which about 50 acres of land has already been acquired.
The proposed Jewar international airport in adjoining Gautam Buddha Nagar would serve the needs of the national capital region (NCR), while the one in Agra would primarily cater to the tourists visiting the Taj Mahal, he said.
