Maa Danteswari Airport (IATA: JGB, ICAO: VEJR), also known as Jagdalpur Airport, is a domestic airport serving the city of Jagdalpur in the state of Chhattisgarh, India. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) conducted a pre-feasibility study in July 2013 for development of the airport[1] and approved of operations of aircraft under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions.[5] The airport was chosen for an upgrade under the Government's UDAN scheme and the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of a terminal building was performed in January 2017.[6][7] It was upgraded to 3C category in 2019, allowing the operations of ATR-72 type of aircraft.[8] On 21 September 2020, Alliance Air started flights to Hyderabad and Raipur using an ATR-72. The airport's name was changed on 21 September 2020.

Development[edit | edit source]

The district administration has floated a proposal to set up a new airport for Jagdalpur in Ulnar village of Bastar district. This airport is expected to be set up in an area measuring 250 hectares. It would have a 1.7 km long and 30 metres wide runway. The airport would reportedly have a state of the art terminal building. Since about 92% (229 hectares) of the land required is owned by the government, the land acquisition process is expected to be quick leading to a faster development time for the airport.[9]
