The Assam government has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to conduct pre-feasibility studies for five new greenfield airports in the state.

The initiative aims to strengthen regional connectivity and support economic growth.

Officials said the studies will assess technical viability, passenger potential, and infrastructure requirements.

The proposed airports are expected to improve access to remote and tourism-focused regions.

Further development will depend on study outcomes and regulatory approvals.
