Hassan Airport (Karnataka)
airport in India
Hassan Airport is a greenfield airport project under construction at Boovanahalli village, 6 km from Hassan, Karnataka, India. The State government had initially found the project financially un-viable and decided to revise the project plan in 2012.
The project was revived in 2021 and the airport development will be taken up the UDAN scheme at a cost of Rs 175 crore.
History
The Government of Karnataka floated the airport proposal at Hassan in 1967, keeping in view of the economic and tourism potentials of the district. The Public Works Department (PWD) of Government of Karnataka acquired 134.28 acres of land in 1972 for the airport project. However, the project was shelved until the 1990s. The proposal was revived again in 1996 and the PWD and Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), surveyed the area and evaluated the sites for the airport project. The site at Boovanahalli village was selected after detailed study on the physical, environmental, meteorological and economic aspects. A notification was also made in the State Gazetteer and local dailies to invite interested bidders for the project. After technical and financial appraisals, the Hassan Airport Project was awarded to M/s Jupiter Aviation and Logistics Limited, Bangalore.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Hassan Airport (Karnataka)” as airport in India. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as airport in India. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3886215. Authority coordinates are 13.016, 76.167. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2021, 1967 and 1972.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
