Come August and people of Vadodara could fly to near-by international destinations from the city airport itself.

The city will soon get an international airport, which is touted to be the Gujarat's first and country's second 'green' airport after Chandigarh's terminal.

The progress on the new international terminal is being directly monitored by the office of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who preferred Varanasi over Vadodara constituency after winning the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

In fact, Modi himself is expected to inaugurate the airport, which is four times bigger than the current one at Harni.
