Jaipur Airport would be partially closed for 15 months from October

The Jaipur Airport would be partially close for 15 months starting from October 2011 to December 2012 due to the extension plan of the length of runway from 2,797 meters to 3,507 meters.  The extensions are being done so as to make the runway suitable for landing of Boeing747 and Airbus 380 so as to further increase international as well as domestic traffic. The new runway will be operational in 2013 with a Category ll Instrumental Landing System (CAT ll) which will enable flights to land and take-off even during low visibility.
