==History==
A team of experts from [[Airports Authority of India]] visited the two identified sites at Sogane near Shimoga and Nagarabavi Village near Ayanur on 4 April 2006. Of the two sites inspected by the AAI team, the one at Sogane was found most suitable due to its wind direction and velocity conditions. The only concern was that the land was uneven and needed to be levelled. The other site near Ayanur was found inadequate in width for the runway of the proposed airport<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060906133748/http://www.hindu.com/2006/04/08/stories/2006040810350300.htm Airport at Shimoga likely to come up at Sogane] The Hindu, India's National Newspaper</ref>

Nineteen companies, had shown interest in developing the airport when the Government had called for an Expression of Interest (EoI) to develop airports in Gulbarga, Bijapur and Shivamogga.<ref name="IE">{{cite news |title=Karnataka gets 19 EoIs for three airport projects |url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/karnataka-gets-19-eois-for-three-airport-projects/202106/ |work=[[The Indian Express]] |date=20 June 2007 |access-date= 9 June 2015 }}</ref> The project was awarded to a consortium of [[Maytas Infra]] Ltd<ref>{{cite book | title = IL&FS may partner foreign firms to improve Maytas Infra position | url = http://www.livemint.com/2009/09/01231812/ILampFS-may-partner-foreign.html?h=B | author = C R Sukumar | publisher = livemint.com | date = 1 September 2009 | access-date = 2 September 2009 }}</ref>), NCC Infrastructure Holdings Ltd (NCC) and VIE India Project Development and Holding on 15 November 2007, on a [[Build-operate-transfer|BOT]] basis.

On 15 June 2020, Karnataka CM [[B. S. Yeddyurappa]] relaunched the long pending airport project in Shivamogga. The airport will be built at the cost of ₹220 crore in about 662.38 acre land area has been initiated earlier at Sogane, It will be built as a part of the [[UDAN]] scheme.<ref>{{cite news|URL= https://www.deccanherald.com/state/top-karnataka-stories/karnataka-cm-b-s-yediyurappa-relaunches-his-pet-shivamogga-airport-project-849767.html|title= Karnataka CM B S Yediyurappa relaunches his pet Shivamogga airport project|website= Deccan Herald}}</ref>

The state government said the airport is designed to operate ATR-72-600 with a seating capacity of 70 passengers and can handle about 200 peak hour passengers. The state said it has enough land available for future expansion of the airport to operate higher types of aircraft like [[Boeing]] B-737/[[Airbus A-320]] based on the demand (3,000 m of runway). The project will be taken up in two phases. It is expected to be completed in a year's time.<ref>{{cite news|URL= https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/2020/jun/15/karnataka-cm-lays-foundation-for-rs-220-crore-airport-project-in-shivamogga-2156844.html|title= Karnataka CM lays foundation for Rs 220 crore airport project in Shivamogga|website= Indian Express}}</ref>
