International Airport At Kittur Between Dharwad & Belagavi, Adani Will Build It: Nirani
HUBBALLI: A greenfield international airport will be constructed at the historic town of Kittur between Dharwad and Belagavi, Karnataka Industries Minister Murugesh Nirani has said.
He made the announcement at TiEcon-2022, a summit of businesspeople and entrepreneurs, in Hubballi on March 26.
Nirani, who studied engineering at Hubballi’s KLE Technological University but hails from Bilgi in Bagalkot district, said that both Hubballi and Belagavi airports would remain domestic airports while international flights would be operated from the greenfield airport to be built by the Adani group.
The announcement — if it’s followed up with an official announcement, a detailed project report and a state cabinet decision — comes as an anti-climax to the ongoing calls for making Hubballi and Belagavi international airports.
Citizens and activists from the two neighbouring cities have been vociferous in their demand for an international airport in their city.
The choice of Kittur for an international airport is interesting. Kittur is located midway between Hubballi and Belagavi. It’s about 50 km from Hubballi, 30 km from Dharwad and about 45 km from Belagavi. The fact that it’s located on the national highway (Pune-Bengaluru road) makes it easier to access. Thirdly, a greenfield airport, although costly in the beginning, will be easier to run and maintain.
So what do you think about Kittur as an international airport? Is it a good choice? Do let us know.
Yes ban wipro also no problem if wipro not there there is nothing will happen in market wipro father fathers are there Congress people listen first ban your party
Usually airports are spaced not within 100 kms of each other. How can there be an international airport in the middle of nowhere that too between two domestic airports within 100 kms ? Appears fake news, that too without any facts on approvals, timeline or budget for the same.
This is called height of foolishness. They could have upgraded either Hubli or Belgaum Airport. This idea published over here, directs a great amount of loss in land area, money and time. Also, air traffic would cause another problem. Added to this Kittur will be losing its own identity. It’s an outcome of Engineering degree in management quota and Power by note for vote quota .

One need not give any importance to this news. Politicians have the habit of shooting such news based on casual talks..Quite often international airports have not come up at places first proposed..it is to play up on the land prices favouring vested interests..it is not a joke to build an international airport without feasibility studies..
It will be very good ,No NEED for Hubli airport then and Belgaum also
better option is to develope hubli or belgaum airport as a international airport
