The government is contemplating the operation of newly established airports within the State, which have been entirely funded by the State itself, rather than entrusting them to the Airports Authority of India (AAI).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Karnataka on Monday to inaugurate an airport in Shivamogga as well as numerous other development projects.
Karnataka intends to build nine water aerodromes in order to improve connectivity and boost tourism in these locations.
