## ANSWER

## Minister of State in the Ministry of CIVIL AVIATION

(Shri Murlidhar Mohol)

(a) to (c): The Aircraft movement and passengers handled at Udaipur Airport during the last 10 years is provided in Annexure.

Airport  expansion  and  improvement  of  passenger  facilities  is  an  ongoing process  carried  out  by  AAI  and  other  airport  operators,  depending  on  land availability,  viability,  socio-economic  factors,  traffic  demand  as  well  as  other facilities related to intended aircraft operations.;

At present, the construction of a New Terminal Building at Udaipur Airport at a cost of Rs. 887.00 Crores, with annual capacity of 4.5 MPPA is in progress. ;

(d): Udaipur Airport is a domestic airport. The commencement of international operations from an airport depends upon traffic potential, demand from airlines for the operation of international flights, and bilateral Air Services Agreement, besides the  provision  of  relevant  airport  facilities.  Presently,  no  such  plan  for  the commencement  of  international  operations  from  Udaipur  Airport  is  under consideration in the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
