Modernisation plans

and Rajkot Municipal Corporation have proposed a plan to extend Rajkot airport runway from current to to accommodate larger aircraft and to provide connectivity to major cities besides Mumbai to cater to a large demand from the manufacturing companies located in Rajkot.
The airport now suffers from considerable capacity restraints, due to the expansion of the city and because of the residential and commercial buildings which have been built around it – this renders the plan to extend the runway unfeasible. The present strip is incapable of serving aircraft larger than Airbus 320 family/Boeing 737-800. As such, plans for an entirely new airport has been approved.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi presided over the groundbreaking ceremony for the Rajkot Greenfield Airport at Hirasar held on 7 October 2017.This is located on Ahmedabad-Rajkot national highway about 20kms from Rajkot.Work is in progress & this new international airport is expected to be operational by 2022.
