Nagpur Airport Reviews

Nagpur Airport also know as Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport (IATA: NAG, ICAO: VANP) is a customs airport serving the city of Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. It was named after Bharat Ratna Dr. “Babasaheb” Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution in 2005. The Airport handles around 4,000 passengers per day and caters to 6 Domestic Airlines and 1 International Airline connecting Nagpur to Sharjah and 12 domestic destinations. The airport, spread over 1,460-acres, is also home to AFS Nagpur of the Indian Air Force and the Nagpur Flying Club.

This airport is slated to be the Multimodal International Hub Airport in India and development work started in 2005. The plan involves construction of a second runway, a new terminal building and a cargo complex through a build-operate-transfer basis. The Maharashtra Government had offered 400 hectares of land to the Indian Air Force (IAF) in exchange of 278 hectares of land at the airport currently occupied by Air Force Station, Nagpur. The proposal has been agreed ‘in principle’ to by the IAF. This will help reducing the load on other busy airports in India by diverting the cargo and passenger traffic to Nagpur and will also make Nagpur city one among the most important business and economic centers in India and Asia.
