The location is identified as Girala, Shiapsarubali, Puri. I hope this will be adjacent to Shamuka beach (project) and would be an enabler for that and would not take away land from Shamuka beach.  At present there is no mention of Shamuka beach.

Heritage City Puri is all set to get a ‘Greenfield Airport’ soon. The ambitious project is likely to be operational in the next two years, informed Puri District Collector Samarth Verma.

The state government has already identified the 1,200 acres of land in Sipasarubali mouza for the international airport. But, there is an obstacle as a little portion of the proposed airport comes under forest and CRZ (Coastal Regulation Zone) area.

“All the surveys related to the obstacles have been completed. Land acquisition has been done. We will file requisition to take the land in possession. The expert team from IDCO has visited the field and reviewed the progress of the work. Now, the techno economic feasibility work is on. It will also be completed very soon. The work will begin in full swing through bidding,” Collector Samarth Verma informed.

Quote:The state government is eyeing the proposed airport at Puri as the state’s main future international airport since the one in Bhubaneswar has limited scope of expansion. Before writing a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, chief minister Naveen Patnaik had already held discussions with him on the proposal. The state hopes the project will sail through.  A senior government officer said once commissioned the Puri airport could be the main international airport while Bhubaneswar would largely cater to the domestic flights.
...
The one proposed in Puri - Sri Jagannath International Airport would also be within 40 km from Bhubaneswar besides being close to Puri and Konark.
...
The Puri airport, connected with the 451-km upcoming coastal highway from Gopalpur in Odisha to Digha in West Bengal, major ports in Paradip, Dhamra and Gopalpur on either sides besides deep water ports at Subarnarekha and a riverine port on Mahanadi and a chain of 12 other non-major ports, would together provide air, water and road connectivity to the entire coastline, providing a huge boost to the East Coast Economic Corridor, government officers said.
