Chandrapur Airport

Chandrapur Airport (ICAO: VA1B) is located at Morwa, 9 kilometres North-West of Chandrapur, Maharashtra, India. The Airstrip was constructed in 1967 by the Public Works Department and is spread over 22 hectares.

Elevation of the airfield is 625 ft / 191 m AMSL. Runway 08/26 is 3,128 ft (953 m) long with paved surface. No navigational aids nor night landing facilities are available on the airstrip.

The State run Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC) that operates the airport has no plans to expand the current facility citing obstructions close to the airport.

Currently there are no scheduled airlines operating at this Airport.

The Chimneys of the Thermal Power Plant to its east and power transmission lines all around the field restrict the scope of expansion of this airport. However, the government has plans of developing a greenfield airport at another appropriate site.
