Surat: The proposal to designate Surat Airport as an international airport was approved by the Union Cabinet. By taking this calculated risk, Surat hopes to unleash previously unrealized economic potential and establish itself as a major force in the global aviation industry. In addition to serving as a gateway for international travel, Surat Airport would enable smooth export-import operations for the booming textile and diamond sectors, according to a government statement. It went on to say that this calculated action would open up previously unrealized economic potential, elevating Surat to a major role in the global aviation scene and igniting a new phase of regional wealth.
According to the statement, Surat, an Indian city that is expanding quickly, has shown exceptional industrial and economic development. It is critical to raise Surat Airport to an international level in order to promote economic expansion, draw in foreign capital, and strengthen diplomatic relations. The airport’s international classification will be a vital catalyst for regional growth, bringing with it an increase in both passenger traffic and cargo operations.
