THE Union Minister for Civil Aviation, Mr Praful Patel, said here on Sunday his Ministry is preparing to give in-principle clearance for an international airport at Chakan near Pune, which will be a greenfield project put up with private participation along the lines of the Bangalore international airport.

The Minister said he was also holding discussions with the Air Chief Marshal and air force authorities to get clearance for operating the existing domestic airport (under the air force jurisdiction) round the clock and said the Ministry was working out the modalities of converting the airport into an international one in the interim period before the Chakan airport becomes functional.
