Quote:The state government is eyeing the proposed airport at Puri as the state’s main future international airport since the one in Bhubaneswar has limited scope of expansion. Before writing a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, chief minister Naveen Patnaik had already held discussions with him on the proposal. The state hopes the project will sail through.  A senior government officer said once commissioned the Puri airport could be the main international airport while Bhubaneswar would largely cater to the domestic flights.
...
The one proposed in Puri - Sri Jagannath International Airport would also be within 40 km from Bhubaneswar besides being close to Puri and Konark.
...
The Puri airport, connected with the 451-km upcoming coastal highway from Gopalpur in Odisha to Digha in West Bengal, major ports in Paradip, Dhamra and Gopalpur on either sides besides deep water ports at Subarnarekha and a riverine port on Mahanadi and a chain of 12 other non-major ports, would together provide air, water and road connectivity to the entire coastline, providing a huge boost to the East Coast Economic Corridor, government officers said.
