Kota Airport

Kota Airport is an airport in Kota in the state of Rajasthan, India. Spread over 152 acres, Kota Airport was originally built by the Royal family of the princely state of Kota and was taken over by the government in 1951.

Originally serviced by Indian Airlines Dakota and later by Vayudoot and Jagson Airlines, shutdown of major industries and Kota becoming a major railway junction had led to demand for air travel decreasing, prompting the airlines to stop their services to this Airport.

Since 1997, there have been no scheduled operations at this Airport, though there has been talk of Air India starting flights to Mumbai and Delhi. The last airline to fly to Kota was Vayudoot. In 2005, it was reported that Airports Authority of India (AAI), which maintains the airport spends Rs. 6.3 million annually on maintenance, whereas the income is Rs. 600,000.

Currently there are no scheduled airlines operating at Kota Airport.

The Airport is managed and controlled by Airports Authority of India (AAI).
