Mansuri added: “A 19-seater aircraft to Lucknow offered limited utility to business travellers, since the same distance could be covered by road in under five hours. She added, “We have sought Rs 600 crore from the state govt for land acquisition to expand the existing 2,112-metre runway. Bhikam Singh, a farmer from Sahanayak village who lives around 150 metres from the airport perimeter, said residents are apprehensive about the compensation process for any fresh land acquisition.
Nauman Mansuri, president of Handicraft Development Society in Moradabad, told TOI: “Domestic trade here depends heavily on south India and exports to western ports such as Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust in Mumbai, which handles international freight dispatch. Passengers who travelled the initial flights cited “aircraft vibration and uncomfortability”. He said delays in the process could result in landowners being compensated at outdated govt rates, even as other land prices in the surrounding area continue to rise, making it difficult for them to purchase alternative agricultural land elsewhere.
Local exporters claimed the airport’s operations were finalised without opinions from the business community. Foreign buyers, he added, used to land in Delhi or Jaipur instead of Moradabad, forcing exporters to come to Delhi and organise an exhibition of samples.
