Yavatmal Airport
Jawaharlal Darda Airport (also known as Yavatmal Airport) is a public
airport located 9 kilometres east of the city of Yavatmal, in the Vidarbha
region of Maharashtra, India.
Yavatmal Airport was constructed in 1998 by the Maharashtra Industrial
Development Corporation. The airport was largely under-used being used only
for government-operated aircraft. With the aim to facilitate increase in air
traffic, which in turn, would help boost trade in the region, the
Maharashtra State Industries Ministry began the process of modernisation of
MIDC airports in 2006.
Yavatmal's 113.93 hectare airport premises were leased for 95 years to
Reliance Airport Developers Ltd on October 30, 2009. Reliance is keen to set
up a facility for recycling aero parts at Yavatmal Airport.
Yavatmal Airport has one asphalt runway, oriented 08/26, 1400 metres long
and 45 metres wide, an apron measuring 80 by 60 metres and a small terminal
building.
Currently there are no scheduled airlines operating at Yavatmal Airport.
