Puri International Airport is a proposed international airport in the Indian state Odisha, which will primarily serve the Puri region.[1][2] The airport will be built in public private partnership (PPP) mode near Sipasarubali and Sandhapur areas under Brahmagiri tehsil in Puri district. It will be developed in three phases at an estimated cost of Rs 5,631 crore.[3] A six-lane, high-speed corridor between Biju Patnaik International Airport and proposed greenfield airport will also be built. This will shorten the travel time to 30 minutes.[4] The location of the airport was chosen due to its close proximity to Puri and its famous Jagannath Temple and other tourist attractions.[3] Spread over an area of 1,164 acres, Puri Airport will be operated as the first airport in the Puri city and the second international airport in Odisha.[1][2] The Fairfax group, Adani Group and GMR Group expressed interest in developing the greenfield airport in April 2024.[5]
