==History==
In March 2007, the State government Cabinet approved construction of greenfield airports in Bijapur, Gulbarga and Shimoga to give a boost to the tourism industry. Nineteen companies had responded when the Government called for an Expression of Interest (EoI) in 2007 to develop the airports.<ref name="IE">{{cite news |title=Karnataka gets 19 EoIs for three airport projects |url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/karnataka-gets-19-eois-for-three-airport-projects/202106/ |work=[[The Indian Express]] |date=20 June 2007 |access-date= 9 June 2015 }}</ref><ref>[http://idd.kar.nic.in/bijapur-airport.htm Minor Airports] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120425082211/http://idd.kar.nic.in/bijapur-airport.htm |date=25 April 2012 }} Infrastructure Development Department, Government of Karnataka</ref>
