Mysore Airport
Mysore Airport (IATA: MYQ, ICAO: VOMY), also known as Mandakalli Airport is
an airport serving the city of Mysore. The Airport is located about 12 km (7
miles) south of Mysore city.
Defunct from the mid-1980s, it was reopened to scheduled services on October
1, 2010 after upgraded work completed. The new terminal building has a
capacity to accommodate 200 passengers. The runway at the airport measures
1,858 m (6,096 ft).
Since then, the modernized airport has seen two airlines, Kingfisher
Airlines and SpiceJet, begin and then end flights to it due to lack of
patronage. However Air India Regional brought the airport back into
operation on 3 September 2015, with six weekly flights to Bengaluru.
The state government has sanctioned funds to upgrade the runway length to
anywhere between 2,400 m (7,870 ft) and 2,600 m (8,530 ft). Meanwhile, a
sanction has already been given for civil and electrical works of the second
phase of the project. The second phase will include upgrade of the airport
with an apron, setting up of air traffic control, meteorological department
and upgrading the terminal.
The Airport comes under the administrative control of the
Airports Authority of India (AAI).
Mysore Airport's passenger terminal occupies 3,250 square metres (35,000 sq
ft) and can hold a maximum of 200 passengers.
Volvo buses from Mysuru City Bus Stand are available 7 times a day before
flight timings.
