The blacktopping project of Dipayal Airport has not been completed in the given time frame. Construction work of the Airport is still incomplete while Sanfebagar Airport of Achham, whose construction started along with Dipayal Airport has been completed with successful test flight operation.

The blacktopping work could not be completed at the allocated time even after extending time frame for the second time.

The project is awarded to Sapna Gyalba JB Construction Company for Rs 5.80 crores which is now expected to take more time. It is said that due to negligence and poor management of Construction Company, the work has been delayed.

It has been expected to be helpful in the tourism promotion along with the economic prosperity of hilly districts of state number 7 after the airport resumes its operation.

Despite the consent of land acquisition, the state and Federal government has not yet been able to appropriate the budget resulting delay in blacktopping project.

Dipayal Airport was established 12 years ago and is the oldest in the entire far-west region. After services at the airport were disrupted citing ‘temporary halt’, the airport has yet to resume operation, except for when ministers fly here.

Citizens from Doti, Dadeldhura, Achham and Bajura are expected to receive services from the airport after it comes into operation. Also tourist number is expected to be increased afterwards.
