The airport's runway is (9/27) and is {{convert|11178|ft}} long. Runway 9/27 became operational from 15 September 2016 to handle bigger aircraft like the [[Boeing 747]] to take off and land from Jaipur Airport after the completion of the runway extension from {{convert|9174|ft}} to {{convert|11178|ft}} in order to handle [[Boeing 777]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/city/jaipur/Jaipur-airport-set-to-handle-bigger-planes/articleshow/54301857.cms |title=Jaipur airport set to handle bigger planes &#124; Jaipur News - Times of India |publisher=M.timesofindia.com |date=2016-09-13 |access-date=2017-11-30}}</ref> The runway 9/27 is CAT-IIIB [[instrument landing system]] (ILS) compliant. This facilitates the landing of aircraft on a runway visibility range (RVR) of up to {{convert|50|m}} during fog. Earlier this was {{convert|550|m}}, benefiting airlines in terms of increased safety and avoiding diversions to other airports resulting in better operational and environmental efficiency.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/city/jaipur/Trial-of-CAT-IIIB-lighting-system-at-airport-from-December8/articleshow/55281285.cms |title=Trial of CAT-IIIB lighting system at airport from December 8 &#124; Jaipur News - Times of India |publisher=M.timesofindia.com |date=2016-11-07 |access-date=2017-11-30}}</ref>

Jaipur International Airport (IATA: JAI, ICAO: VIJP) is an international airport serving Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan. It is located in the southern suburb of Sanganer, located about 10 km (6.2 mi) from the city centre.[5] It is the 13th-busiest airport in India in daily scheduled flight operations.[6]

History[edit | edit source]

Name board for the airport
Jaipur International Airport's Terminal 2, seen from the apron side

On 29 December 2005, the airport was granted the status of international airport.[7] The airport's apron can accommodate 14 aircraft, and the new integrated terminal building can handle up to 1,000 passengers at peak hours.[8]

On 1 July 2009, the second terminal was inaugurated,[9] and further expanded in 2019 when its runway width was expanded by around 20 meters on each side, a new hall was built in the departure area, and three conveyor belts and 2 new aerobridges were installed.[10][11]

Between 2018-24, T1 was upgraded, floor area was expanded from 10,000 to 18,000 square meters and redesigned to reflect traditional Rajasthani architecture.[12][13]

2016 plan to construct a new greenfield airport for Jaipur at different location just outside the Jaipur Ring Road at Shivdaspura,[14] was abandoned in May 2023 due to the lack of viability and the acquired land was used for developing an economic hub.[15][16]
