Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has requested Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to develop the Adilabad Airport, which is being developed by the Indian Air Force (IAF), with comprehensive facilities.

Reddy, who is on a tour in New Delhi, met with the Defence Minister on Monday. The state government would extend full cooperation for the expansion of the upcoming Adilabad Airport under the aegis of India Air Force considering the its significance to national integrity and defence, Reddy said.

The CM also requested the Union Minister to support the large-scale establishment of cargo, MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) and hangar facilities alongside the Indian Air Force terminal and the Civil Aviation terminal intended for passenger convenience. 

 Adilabad Airport would be suitable for hanger operations, the Chief Minister said and requested the Union Minister to set up a hanger.

The Chief Minister also requested Rajnath Singh to expedite the approval of a key project - DRDO / DRDL at Devarakadra in Mahabubnagar district which has been selected for the establishment of the defence facility, according to a release.
