Which Air Transport in India term is correctly identified by “an airport developed on a new site rather than by expanding an existing airport” and “land acquisition and environmental appraisal are major planning elements”?

Correct Answer: Option A — Greenfield Airport. Greenfield Airport is correct because it is an airport developed on a new site rather than by expanding an existing airport. Greenfield Airport is also specifically associated with land acquisition and environmental appraisal are major planning elements. Two additional identifying facts are that Greenfield Airport is runways, terminals and access links are created as a new complex and Greenfield Airport is associated with it should not be confused with brownfield modernization. Why the other options are incorrect: • Option B — Air Cargo: Air Cargo is transport of goods by aircraft. • Option C — Civil Enclave: Civil Enclave is a civil-aviation area within a defence airfield. It is incorrect here because its separate identifying association is civil passenger operations share the broader airfield infrastructure. • Option D — Airports Authority of India: Airports Authority of India is a statutory body associated with civil-aviation airport infrastructure. It is incorrect here because its separate identifying association is it manages many airports and civil enclaves in India. Exam Takeaway: Connect Greenfield Airport with “an airport developed on a new site rather than by expanding an existing airport” and “land acquisition and environmental appraisal are major planning elements”.
