Ratnagiri Airport

Ratnagiri Airport (IATA: RTC, ICAO: VARG) is a public airport located in Ratnagiri, in the Konkan division of the state of Maharashtra, India.

The airport was built in 1973 by the Public Works Department, Government of India. It was transferred to the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) for upgradation, expansion and maintenance in 1997.

During the 2008 winter session of the state legislature, the Maharashtra State Cabinet decided to hand over the airport to the Indian Coast Guard for setting up an air station. It proposed to hand over 41 hectares of airport land and another 19 hectares of MIDC land to the Defence Ministry.

The Indian Coast Guard have taken over the airstrip at Ratnagiri and will develop it into its first full-fledged air station in Maharashtra. The Air station will play a crucial role in maritime surveillance and search & rescue operations.

Currently there are no scheduled airlines operating at this Airport.
