The  state-of-the-art Greenfield airport at Hollongi in Arunachal Pradesh would have better facilities than the one at Pakyong Airport in Sikkim.

A greenfield airport is an aviation facility that is planned, commissioned and built from scratch without destroying an existing structure.

The DoNER Ministry would spend about Rs 350 crore for the initial phase of work in the Hollongi airport.
