'''Warangal Airport''' also '''Mamnoor Airport''' {{Airport codes|WGC|VOWA}} is located at Mamnoor, [[Warangal]] in the [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Telangana]], [[India]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Nizam-era-airport-lies-neglected/articleshow/9402208.cms|title=Nizam-era airport lies neglected|date=2011-07-29|work=The Times of India|access-date=2019-11-07|publisher=Hyderabad News - Times of India}}</ref> The largest airport at the time, remained in service until 1981. The [[Government of Telangana]] is trying to revive the airport with some instate services.

==History==
Warangal Airport, the largest pre-independence era airport, was built at ''Mamnoor'' in Warangal district, in 1930. It was commissioned by the last Nizam, [[Mir Osman Ali Khan]], along with one at Solapur, to benefit the businesses, at [[Kagaznagar]] for the paper industry's convenience, and to help industries like the Azam Zahi mills at Warangal.
Numerous PMs and Presidents have landed at the airport until 1981, and during the Indo-China war, it served as a hangar for government aircraft due to Delhi airport being a target in combat. Many cargo services and [[Vayudoot]] services have also used it as their hub.

==Infrastructure==
Warangal Airport was the largest airport in the country at the time, with 1875 acres in land, a 2 km runway, a pilot and staff quarters, a pilot training centre and more than one terminal.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://gc.kls2.com/airport/VOWA|title=VOWA - Warrangal, TG, IN - Airport - Great Circle Mapper|last=Woodside|first=John|website=gc.kls2.com|publisher=Great Circle Airports|access-date=2019-11-07}}</ref>

== Airlines and destinations ==
No scheduled commercial air service at this time.

The [[Airports Authority of India]] has included Warangal airport in the list of under-served and unserved airports, suitable for the [[Aviation in India#Civilian regulation|regional connectivity scheme]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/business/business-others/non-aero-revenue-airports-authority-looks-to-cash-in-on-its-spare-city-land-3041518/|title=Non-aero revenue: Airports Authority looks to 'cash in' on its spare city land|last=Verma|first=Sunny|date=2016-09-21|work=The Indian Express|access-date=2019-11-07}}</ref>
