Airport Forum opposes handing Lengpui Airport to IAF

Aizawl, Jan 24 (UNI) Lengpui Airport Forum, a newly-formed body voiced strong opposition to the Mizoram government's proposal to transfer Lengpui Airport to the Indian Air Force (IAF), citing potential operational, economic, and developmental setbacks for the state.
In a press statement on Friday, the Forum outlined critical concerns should the transfer proceed.
"The IAF would assume authority over the runway and Air Traffic Control (ATC), potentially prioritizing military operations over civilian flights. Such precedence could disrupt flight schedules and economic progress, as observed in other IAF-controlled Airports like Pune and Bagdogra," the Forum said.
