PM Modi flags off Hisar-Ayodhya flight, lays foundation for Rs 410-crore terminal at Hisar Airport

PM Modi launched a series of development projects in Haryana on Monday during Ambedkar Jayanti including the Hisar Airport.

During his visit to region, the prime minister flagged off the first commercial flight from Hisar to Ayodhya and laid the foundation stone for the new terminal building of the Maharaja Agrasen Airport.

"When BJP assigned me the duties for Haryana, I, along with several of my party companions, worked here. Their hard work has strengthened the BJP in Haryana, and I am proud that the BJP is extremely serious and working to fulfil the dream of 'Viksit Haryana, Viksit Bharat'," he said while addressing the gathering at the event.

The new terminal, worth over Rs 410 crore, is set to feature a modern passenger terminal, a cargo terminal, and an Air Traffic Control (ATC) building.
