Surat Airport in Gujarat has officially been declared an 'International Airport' by the Indian government, following the Union Cabinet's approval led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in December.
This strategic decision aims not only to serve as a global gateway but also to streamline import-export operations for the thriving diamond and textile industries, unlocking unprecedented economic potential and positioning Surat as a significant player in the international aviation landscape.
The elevation to international status is expected to enhance economic growth, attract foreign investment, and strengthen diplomatic ties, anticipating increased passenger traffic and cargo operations.
