Gondia Airport Flight StatusGondia Airport ArrivalsGondia Airport DeparturesFlights to GondiaGondia Airport, Gondia
Gondia Airport, commonly known as Birsi Airport, takes its name from the nearby Birsi village in the Gondia district of Maharashtra. Originally constructed by the British during World War II in the 1940s, the facility served as a military airstrip before transitioning to civil use under the management of the Airports Authority of India. While the site has existed for decades, it underwent significant redevelopment and officially commenced scheduled commercial operations in March 2022 under the government’s Regional Connectivity Scheme. It did not replace a prior airport but rather upgraded a dormant airstrip to serve the Vidarbha region. Due to its regional nature and recent entry into commercial service, the airport does not feature in global rankings and sits outside the top fifty busiest airports in India, handling a specialized volume of regional traffic according to 2023-2024 data. Key milestones include the establishment of the National Flying Training Institute in 2008, a joint venture that made the facility a significant hub for pilot training, and the extension of its runway to 2,290 meters to accommodate larger turboprop and narrow-body aircraft. Gondia serves as a vital industrial and agricultural hub, famously known as the Rice City due to its extensive network of rice mills. The airport supports this role by providing connectivity for business travelers and acting as a gateway for tourists visiting the nearby Navegaon National Park and Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary, bolstering the local eco-tourism economy.
