It was informed in the meeting that immediately in the first phase; the existing Hisar Airport would be upgraded and developed as a domestic airport under the Regional Connectivity Scheme- UDAN of Government of India. In the second phase, the existing airstrip of 4000 feet would be extended to 9000 feet with the facilities of night landing and state of the art navigational aids to facilitate the airlines and operators for fixed based operations, MRO, Night Landing and Parking of Aircraft within a period of next 18 months. In the final phase, an Aerotropolis comprising an International Airport along with Aerospace and Defence manufacturing facility and commercial as well as residential areas would be developed.
The meeting was also informed that the Aviation Hub would be developed as a 'brown field' project by expanding the existing project.
