Kalpatti Island is an uninhabited island of Agatti atoll in Lakshadweep, India. There were plans to extend the runway of the airport on the nearby Agatti Island to Kalpati Island to accommodate jet aircraft.{{cite web|first=Saurabh |last=Sinha |title=Airport across two islands in Lakshadweep |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2007-02-15/india/27883859_1_agatti-lakshadweep-islands|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110124816/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2007-02-15/india/27883859_1_agatti-lakshadweep-islands|url-status=dead|archive-date=10 November 2013|date=15 February 2007 |newspaper=The Times of India |accessdate=26 February 2014}} The plans were rejected on environmental grounds because the proposed runway extension would have passed a turtle colony.{{cite web |first=Saurabh |last=Sinha |title=Bridge on sea to extend Lakshadweep airport runway |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Bridge-on-sea-to-extend-Lakshadweep-airport-runway/articleshow/18358361.cms?referral=PM |newspaper=Times of India |date=6 February 2013 |accessdate=26 February 2014 |archive-date=4 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180504165212/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Bridge-on-sea-to-extend-Lakshadweep-airport-runway/articleshow/18358361.cms?referral=PM |url-status=live }}
