Chief Minister Manik Saha leads the effort to reopen Kailashahar Airport.
The airport has been out of use for 35 years.
The central government will support the project under the regional air connectivity scheme.
A helipad for helicopters will be built at Dumbur to promote tourism.
The reopening aims to improve travel options and increase state revenue.
The initiative is part of the national regional air connectivity program aimed at improving short‑distance air travel between towns.
Officials also plan to build a helipad at the tourist destination Dumbur to make the area more accessible.
Resuming the airport is expected to enhance the state’s internal travel network and contribute to economic growth.
