Pakyong Airport
Pakyong Airport is an airport under construction near Gangtok, the state capital of Sikkim, India. The airport, spread over , is located at Pakyong village about 35km (21.75 mi) south of Gangtok. It is the first Greenfield airport to be constructed in the Northeastern Region of India and the only airport in the state of Sikkim. Frequent protests by locals have resulted in suspension of work twice, escalating the cost of the project from Rs. 309 Crore to Rs. 605 Crore. Airport construction including passenger terminal is now expected to be functional by December 2016 (). Presently, the nearest airport to Sikkim is located away at Bagdogra in the neighbouring state of West Bengal.
== History ==
The project was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs in October 2008. The Punj Lloyd Group was awarded the 264-crore contract to construct a runway, taxiway, apron drainage system, and electrical work for the greenfield airport in January 2009. The foundation stone for the greenfield airport was laid by the then Civil Aviation Minister, Praful Patel, in February 2009.
The project was initially slated to be completed by 2012. Protests by local villagers, demanding proper rehabilitation and compensation, had resulted in suspension of work in January 2014. The AAI intervened and held discussions with agitating villagers and paid part compensation allowing work to resume in October 2014. However, in January 2015, work came to a halt once again as villagers took to protests. In July 2015, AAI and the State Government signed an MoU with AAI, promising to shift the affected households by August 15 so that AAI could resume work from October 2015.〔
When completed the airport will be one of the five highest airports in India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.punjlloyd.com/landmark-projects-gallery/sikkims-greenfield-airport-india )〕
