After reporting the issue in May, MiD DAY produces fresh evidence to prove certain AAI officials and local developers colluded to shut down runway 16/34 at Juhu airport to benefit certain building projects
On May 15, MiD DAY had highlighted (‘AAI officers wanted to shut down Juhu runway to help buildings stand tall’) an unholy nexus between some Airports Authority of India (AAI) bigwigs and the builders’ lobby, endeavouring to shut down one of the runways at the aerodrome for furtherance of building projects. Fresh documents now available with this newspaper further authenticate the report and also establish that the study supporting the closure of the runway 16/34 is questionable.
