International airports require a minimum of 9,000 metres of runway and the officials in three places have acquired some lands which may be suitable for construction. It may be noted that most states in India have only one international airport. Some have two while very few have three. If these three places are deemed as suitable for construction, AP will find place in the elite list. There are currently 10 air strips in AP and most of them are not functional.
