Odisha aims to have 15 fully operational airports by 2047 

The Odisha government has set a target to develop 15 fully operational airports by 2047, which would significantly enhance the regional, domestic, and international air linkages. The state has 26 airports and airstrips, of which 12 are state-owned, and only five are civilian airports. Discussions were also held to formulate a comprehensive state aviation policy to streamline regulatory processes, attract private investments and facilitate uniform growth across the sector.
