The opening of a new airport at Pekyong will certainly boost the tourism sector along with the growth of the other industries and the need to travel to Sikkim by air through Bagdogra Airport will be reduced.
Further as the Pekyong airport is landlocked and surrounded by international borders aligning with Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and China the airport should unanimously be upgraded to an international status. This will enhance connectivity to sectors with the neighboring SAARC countries and also one is given to understand that Pekyong will be connected with Paro Airport, Bhutan effective January 2019.
The 100th airport opening in Sikkim is a highly commendable effort owing to engineering marvels achieved while building the airport.
