"The acquisition of land will be done by district administration. The process of land acquisition starts with preparation of Social Impact Assessment (SIA) study.

After the recent visit of minister of state for civil aviation Jayant Sinha, the state government expedited the exercise to acquire land for second airport in the city
During his visit, Sinha said that in next five years Sanganer airport will not be big enough to cater to air traffic. According to sources, following this a high level committee meeting was called where JDA was directed to submit the proposal
The JDA would forward the revise proposal for approval to the state government," added source
Earlier, it was questioned several times the need to have Greenfield Airport in the close vicinity of existing Sanganer airport, which is only 25 km away. Sources, however, said, the minister mentioned the new airport should be shifted beyond 20-km radius of the existing one
According to sources, as per the government of India's Greenfield Airports Policy, Airports Authority of India (AAI) can set up an airport within a radius of 150-km from an existing civilian airport after receiving recommendations from the steering committee. The Central government (ministry of civil aviation) then considers the recommendation and decides whether approval for the airport project should be granted or not, sources said
