History[edit]
The regions around Kuppam has a wide horticulture presence with several plantations of flowers, fruits and vegetables. The Chittoor district has also seen an increased industrial activity. To benefit the economy of the area, a domestic airport has been proposed.[1]
In 2015, INCAP conducted a feasibility study for the development of five greenfield airports in the state, including Kuppam.[3][4] The Central Government of India cleared the proposal for an airport at Kuppam on 2 August[not in citation given] 2018.[1] The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu, laid the foundation stone for the airport project on 3 January 2019.[5] It was originally slated to complete the construction within the next eight months.[5]
